I don't agree. That will create more confusion for developer. When
there is a bug report I have to know from which version it is
reported. When each builder uses her own numbering sheme it is not
helpful, because I as a developer don't know from which point the bug
report comes (or if it is fixed in an following revision). A possible
solution would be that the builder have to provide in this case a
mapping of there repo number to the changeset so that I can check in
my repo (with other rev number) if this bug is still appliable or if
it is fixed by an already done bug fixing. But this is complicated.
I'm for using the changeset sha1 number as Harry already done. With a
small modification it should be possible to copy the version string
from the about screen.
