I'd argue that using the date in release field gives the user a better sense
how fresh the snapshot is. The git hash is only useful if one can look it up in
the git repo; without the repo the hash isn't very informative.

In any case, it's the official guidelines which suggest to include date in the
release field if you are packaging a snapshot. I think it makes sense to keep
naming consistent in the distro. Even if you think that including the date +
the word "git" in release field is redundant, I believe it is useful to keep
naming consistent with other packages.
