A version number is an ill-defined concept for a distributed version control system (if we both commit something locally after commit 1234, which one is really 1235?), but the system used by version.py is

git rev-list HEAD | wc -l

but this is not the same number that would be returned by an SVN checkout from github.

Is there a way to get human readable version numbers again, like in the SVN times? This is a small annoying thing that is really unimportant compared to other newborn problems.
Earlier we had a decimal number that had some meaning. Now there is a long hexa string that informs only machines.
