Matt,

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to this, but a few comments:
- Will you still include the rev number in the official release?  If
not, make sure that upgrades to that still work.  This is solved in RPM
by the 0.1 prefix before the date.
- Why revision instead of date?  I think it will be easier for everyone
if all nightly builds (tarball, rpm, deb, etc) use either rev number or
date.  Can we pick one and use it universally?
