Using pretty-printed dates would make it easier to disambiguate the 
seven-letter commit ID prefixes to the complete IDs if later commits 
happen to introduce IDs with the same prefix (in which case the commit 
date would help narrow done in which commit range to look for the given 
prefix).  (Not that the full Git IDs are unambiguous, either.  But when 
they start to clash, we are fucked, anyway.)

May I argue that the Age code I propose on this topic fixes that problem? Since it is an age, there is no chance that in the future the code will repeat itself. The truncated 7 letters of the SHA may happen to repeat (although the probability is possibly very low) Just a correction to my previous email: in ten years the core would be 4085.31260 which is easily distinguished from the current builds which are around 414.91491 Best regards, Pedro -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Naming-builds-Please-tp3556898p3561011.html Sent from the Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
