Yeah, but you know people want this so they can write things in their bug tracker like "fixed in r1232" instead of "fixed in 2c4d96d1dc2d12afd486561329a9a7b74d4ae110".


This will give you r/1232:

https://github.com/stephenh/git-central/blob/master/server/p...

(It makes a tag-per-commit; I'm not saying that's necessarily a good idea, but if you really want revision numbers...)


I wouldn't mind "fixed in 981db17b8 (gen 1853)".


That's what `git describe` is for.
