Brad,

That's a good point.

I would consider that the revision history information displayed
by Github itself (in the network diagram, for example), is clear
and visible enough notice that the software has been modified.

Actually, the fact that git builds the hashes out of the file content
(of all files) is a much better indication of whether the code has
been modified or not.  I.e. when we make ITK releases we could
simply publish the SHA (in the web site, for example) and anyone
could readily verify it against the copy they get from any other
source.
