-    Versioneer placed a ``_version.py`` file in the package directory. This file
-    gets updated on installation or ``git archive``.
-    We inspect the contents of ``_version`` to detect whether we are in a
-    repository, an archive of the repository, or an installed package.
+    In this file is a variable called COMMIT_HASH. This contains a substitution
+    pattern that may have been filled by the execution of ``git archive``.
+
+    We get the commit hash from (in order of preference):
 
-    If detection fails, we return a not-found placeholder tuple
+    * A substituted value in ``archive_subst_hash``
+    * A truncated commit hash value that is part of the local portion of the
+      version
+    * git's output, if we are in a git repository
+
+    If all these fail, we return a not-found placeholder tuple
