I am afraid I don't really understand you. Was there any real problem with SVN version numbers? What kind of local commit? There was one system with one series of numbers. Do you mean your own computer by local? That is not interesting for public.
The old version number HAD some meaning. It gave a sort order, some help where to put a script in my mind. This new system is only useful for computers. Well, we can live together with that, but if there is any chance to install some human readable version, I would appreciate it.

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.
