Thanks for the pointer.

Looking at the class I see 
    ver = popen(["git", "describe", "--tags"], cwd=path)                                                                                                                                                                                     
    if not ver:                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
        ver = popen(["git", "rev-parse", "--short", "HEAD"], cwd=path)

Normally I work on a named branch so the PV here becomes the capitalized
branch name. My preference would be the shortened commit id which is the
fallback option above. I guess no way to get this functionality unless I
either don't work a branch or locally modify gitver.bbclass.
