I spent some time looking into this issue last week. It turns out that git has a command (git describe) that will provide a useful version number for nightly releases, based on the last tag name, number or revisions since then, and a substring of the hash of the commit.
Version numbers would look like: 0.7-145-fe521c92 This would be the 145th commit after the tag for 0.7, with a hash that is useful for finding the commit tree. We can incorporate this into our build process, but it won't work until we use git to tag a new release. Because all of our current tags were created in svn, git can't seem to see them to be used in git describe. Soon!
