AboutSystem used to show only the hrev in the "Version:" field.
Now it shows a very long string with hrev, short commit hash, branch name,
and a bunch of other things.
This is exactly what we tried to avoid with the hrevs. Having a short,
sequential, unique identifier that the user can easily understand.
I would prefer that we revert to "just the hrev" here, or if people really
want an ugly long cryptic string, at least we should find some way to
linebreak it so that the left pane of AboutSystem does not become so wide,
as the important part of the AboutSystem window is on the right.
