Let me further explain.
example: krita-trinity-2012-06-12-a2c24b62-i686.rpm.xz
has: name of package, trinity, date and git hash

For git names
just do the date it was built. Not as precise but easier
to understand
A challenge with using the date is GIT is a moving target. Any version
method used represents a snapshot moment of the repository. The GIT
shortlog version better represents that snapshot moment than a date. A
person could update a local repository but build a package set a week
later. In that case the date would be incorrect.
If there was a way to pull a date from within the sources then a date
could provide a better snapshot representation of the sources. But all
Trinity packagers would need to use the same mechanism to pull the date to
be consistent with one another.
