I'm not deriding git at all. The rev# is a common question in git.
One other idea that is more git-centric...how about we use date + 6 digit for
the About revision? This would also help solve those who think RCn is more
current than the general release.
git log --date-format=:%Y%m%dMarry that with the current revision#.
So we'd end up with a human friendly 20180702/308245

We will be seeing more of this same question in the future I'm sure so some
consideration should be given to making it a one-up counter again perhaps
appending it to the 6-digit git number.
Mike,
we have seen the same question with svn revision numbers but you still ignore
that svn has the same issue because it supports branching but revision numbers
are not incremented separately for each branch. Here's a simple example:
trunk e.g. v2.0.0 gets a change, let's say revision number r1000. A fix is
applied to an old branch e.g. 1.0.1 for fix an urgent defect only in that old
branch, let's say that is revision r1001. So you are saying that revision
numbers allow a user to determine the latest version. So who has the latest
version, is it r1001 which is version1.0.1 or is it r1000 which is version
2.0.0?
This should make it perfectly clear that svn revision numbers tell us nothing
about the logical linage of a code line. Stop deriding git as a version control
system using invalid arguments please.
