Description

I am running mutant under rake for a series of modules (500+) and accumulating the logs in the background for subsequent review and analysis.

I am finding it would be beneficial to have the version number of mutant used and a timestamp in the final output for reference purposes should I need to ask for guidance or identify the mutant run against which source code was in place at the time of the run.

Research direction

Start by tracing how mutant assembles its final output when run under rake. Add the mutant version and a timestamp to that output, then verify that accumulated logs identify both the tool version and the time of each run.
