There are various posts around of different ways of using revision numbers in Git, e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4120001/what-is-the-git-equivalent-for-revision-number

When using tags to record release revision numbers, we can use git describe to obtain reasonable-looking revision numbers, e.g. 1.2.1-2-g17880f1, where 1.2.1 is the most recent tag on the current branch, 2 is the number of commits made since the tag, and 17880f1 is the (short) SHA of the current commit (prefixed with g for "git").
