Comment (by cb88):
HAIKU_REVISION is definitely a developer convenience feature... not a user
feature. That said it's more of an annoyance to anyone checking out from
github and then having your build fail and having to "lie" about the
HAIKU_REVISION to the build system....
Users, probably won't care if just the Release Major / Minor + hash is
displayed instead of rSOMEBIGSEQUENTIALNUMBER.
What about a short hash for convenience of reporting it would have to be
long enough to not collide often, and short enough to not be onerous to
type.
