Most excellent Dereckson, thank you for creating this. When available, I can add this to the information I collect and display on WikiApiary for extensions.

The patch seems to do way more than what in summary?

Than in the summary of this bug? Yes -- I wrote the feature first and then discovered there were bugs for it.

So perhaps the bug should be moved to another component and renamed? Or the patch adjusted to "only" add to the API.
I could do a lot to help people that run MediaWiki if we can even just get the git-hash into the API. So, still hoping to see this get out.
Any update on this patch? It would be stunning to see this get integrated into the API.
Mark, do we have a tracking bug, wiki wishlist or anything where to list features like this which would help us support third party wikis and release compatibility?
I didn't notice this until it became a fait accompli, but I was wondering, what purpose does it serve to have the license appear in Special:Version? Is that because some licenses might require it?
I don't know either, see comment 4. http://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=extensions seems to satisfy comment 0 though.
This is awesome to have the vcs-* fields now in the API thanks! It would be great to have the new license information in this as well. I created bug 59655 for that.
