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.

I also wished a serial number in past and we discussed a patch for git in past [1][2] during review which would enable an additional number like id$. But unfortunately this would not have the same meanung as in svn before. I found serial numbers usefuff for annotate/blame the code and debugging purposes which then leaded directly to the svn CR page where the patch was submitted. But these patches given above did not give that result I wanted and has been abandoned then. SVN repository from github still comes with a serial number but this diverges form the git counter due to merging process I guess and the github server does not support custom revprops via log. So we have to have git as it is.
