Reading a git tutorial (or two) might help to understand the issue. To help
understand the differences from SVN, http://hginit.com/00.html is really
helpful - it's written for mercurial, but you can just read 'git'
everywhere 'hg' or 'mercurial' is used.

I have given you the exact command that you can use to get 'a human
readable, incrementing version number'. But I've asked this before, and
I'll ask it again: why do you need a revision number? What is the use case,
and why couldn't that use case also be handled by a revision hash?
