> Currently when a project needs to generate unique names for artifacts, they 
> have to use mechanisms like embedding the date and/or the git hash into the 
> artifact name. For example, when a new build of the Ruby SDK is generated, 
> the name of the RPM is like this:
>   
> rubygem-ovirt-engine-sdk4-4.2.0-1.alpha0.20170505gita6de891.el7.centos.ppc64le.rpm
> That information is useful, and usually unique. But can be repeated if the 
> same jobs is manually triggered the same day, as the date and the git hash 
> will be the same.
> In addition the date may be misleading, because a build performed later but 
> using an old commit, will look newer than an older build that uses a newer 
> commit.
> A possible solution is to count the number of commits since certain well 
> known commit. But this isn't reliable if the repository isn't completely 
> cloned, for example if it is cloned with '--depth 1', as that well known 
> commit may not be in the cloned repository. That cloning out of the control 
> of the automation scripts.
> So my suggestion/request is to add to the CI/CD environment a mechanism to 
> provide that sequence to the jobs explicitly. I'd suggest to use the count of 
> commits since the initial commit of the repository. The CI/CD environment 
> performs the clone, so it can make sure it has all the relevant commits.
> This information could be passed to the build-artifacts.sh script in an 
> environment variable, or in the command line, or in a file in a known 
> location.
> With that each project could (optionally) modify its automation scripts to 
> include that number. for example, in the Ruby SDK I'd like to generate RPMs 
> like this:
>   rubygem-ovirt-engine-sdk4-4.2.0-1.alpha0.<that-number>.rpm
