Versions should be associated with the git sha #13

That's fairly straightforward to get the github interface; while we're doing things with a view to reproducibility and going all in on github we might as well do this.

So we'll keep the "0.1.0" interface; that's the human readable version. But we'll provide some interface for indicating what sha that refers to so that one could write:

"We used version (v0.1.0 [a5ad1b8])" and people would be able to tell that was the exact version. This is only an issue because we can edit the releases. At the same time, we can actually update the files on a release without that being reflected in the hash so that's no panacea either.

OK, so the new datastorr version does provide facilities for retrieving that information, though it's not exposed at present. Thoughts on if this is useful? @wcornwell @mwpennell?

i think the doi from the zenodo-github interface now solves this...
