But if you read his email carefully, Orion isn't speaking about the
version.
So commit will be bd245c9 but the version might very well be
Version: 20120613git%{commit}
and as long as the date gets updated, yum will be happy with it.
Also, probably want to keep all of this out of the version field. The
Guidelines say to stick it in release.
Putting it in Version: runs the risk of upstream making a release like 1.0
which would then sort lower than the date (20120613).
