The r/29250 style sequential labels do provide a way to be able to

Mantis issues and them make sense to other reporters.
I appreciate for the Git-technoliterati this may be easy from the Git
hashes themselves and using the Git tools.. but for mere mortals it
would be helpful to have some way to continue to refer to commits or
builds in sequence/date order. @Diva mentions the possibility of
some sort of converter... but done one at a time that might still be
difficult to trace back when finding where issues were introduced. I
have sometimes worked backward through twenty of more OpenSim viewgit
pages trying to trace where issues arise.
This is what git describe is for. You get the sequential number of commits you
are ahead of the tag.
But of course if the overhead of keeping the r/ style tags is a real
problem that has to be the main factor in going forward.
I have to run git tag -d `git tag | grep -E '1’` after every pull I make
otherwise it locks up the gui I use to browse commits. Removing these tags
would be wonderful for me.
