Eric, Using git commit hash or a truncated version of hash, as proposed by Laszlo, is mostly fine. The only inconvenience of git hashes is that they cannot be compared. Unlike SVN revision, it's impossible to tell which commit is newer, by just looking at git hash. I suggest using git hash plus commit date/time. Something similar to the output of the following command: git show -s --format="%H %ci" <commit>

Currently I am planning to use the SHA1 as the version. This seems like a reasonable approach.
