There has been discussion about this in other threads and the conclusion
reached is that where there is a specific version being selected, having
PV of that specific version is a good thing. With "1.0.0+gitXXX" its
unclear if its really 1.0.0 or not.

Yes. When SCM is used to fetch a pristine tagged release, adding SRCPV just adds unnecessary clutter. My understanding is that SRCPV is only there to enforce package version going forwards when changing one git snapshot for a later git snapshot, when both are based on the same tagged release.
