Thanks Doug,

So is that openstack document wrong?

I'm packaging nova, we have a bunch of custom commits and extra back ports in our version. Having the git hash in there is extremely helpful and I also don't want to conflict with the official openstack release. 
I don't care really what the version number is as long as when I add a new commit the version number increases. 

Having a look at that document I think I should do something like 

12.0.3.post74+gea340da

Any ideas? 

Thanks,
Sam
