I also wished a serial number in past and we discussed a patch for git in past 
[1][2] during review which would enable an additional number like id$. But 
unfortunately this would not have the same meanung as in svn before. I found 
serial numbers usefuff for annotate/blame the code and debugging purposes which 
then leaded directly to the svn CR page where the patch was submitted. But 
these patches given above did not give that result I wanted and has been 
abandoned then. SVN repository from github still comes with a serial number but 
this diverges form the git counter due to merging process I guess and the 
github server does not support custom revprops via log. So we have to have git 
as it is.
