[apologies if this is a repost. I was not on the list]

Hello everyone,
    I'm a recent org-mode convert (after hearing the talk) and without 
question, it's one of the best things I've ever used. Thank you for 
making such a wonderful program.

    However, org-mode and emacs being what they are, I'm tempted to try 
and customise it to do more. :)

    I'm trying a simple trick to insert the version control history of 
my current file formatted as a table when I export the org file into 
HTML or ascii. I need this to track changes to design documents etc.

    I'm using dynamic blocks to do this and have a function defined to 
insert the output of

git log --pretty='format:|%ad|%s|' (buffer-file-name)

into the block.

    This works fine if I run org-update-all-dblocks from the org buffer 
itself manually. If I export it however, (buffer-file-name) returns a 
null string so I get the entire log of my repository which is not what I 
want.

    Is there a way to get the buffer/file which is being exported so 
that I can use that in the command rather than buffer-file-name?

    Thanks in advance and for such an awesome mode.
