Thanks. Seems the formatting is not configurable, oh well.

The one I am writing and that goes into the AVR chip ;-)

Yep, so that when I power up the target, I know what revision of the
code is in there, and when it was compiled.

I use a different repository for each project, precisely to have a
revision number that really reflects the state of a particular
program/project, not a global number that I don't find very meaningful
(well in my use case anyway, not saying it can't be useful to other
people of course ! ;-)
