Luke,
I guess it all depends on what export target you are aiming for. If you
want latex (+pdf), much of this can be captured with actual latex
commands (\listoffigures, say).
Independent of the export target, the revision history could be
generated using babel with the appropriate log command depending on the
version control system you use, as in
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+begin_src sh :results output :exports results
git log -10 --oneline
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
HTH,
eric
