I guess it matters where you look.  For things like rpm's you see "...+git0+...".  For things
like items generated by the archiver you see "...+gitAUTOINC+...".  In either case, the
characters appended to "git" do not seem to be useful.  And, since the 805... and b25...
hashes are just anecdotal because the <version>-yocto determines version sequence, they could
be much shorter.
