Not intending to troll here, but why exactly do you need readable
version numbers for a DVCS? Are you going to speak them over the
phone?


Sequential version numbers are the easy way to binary search which
commit broke some particular feature. I guess some date tag would also
work, but splitting
in the middle of the search space is just easier with sequential
numbers.
git bisect does the same in a more powerful way. Using a SHA or revision number is not different in that process.
