I also wished a serial number in past and we discussed a patch for git in past [1][2] \
during review which would enable an additional number like id$. But unfortunately \
this would not have the same meanung as in svn before. I found serial numbers usefuff \
for annotate/blame the code and debugging purposes which then leaded directly to the \
svn CR page where the patch was submitted. But these patches given above did not give \
that result I wanted and has been abandoned then. SVN repository from github still \
comes with a serial number but this diverges form the git counter due to merging \
process I guess and the github server does not support custom revprops via log. So we \
have to have git as it is.
