This sounds fine. If possible we want the snapshot to be just s20080314
and it looks like that is what you get when you specify a tag directly.
The other stuff appears to be specific to the local repository so it is
not that great at showing where the local repository is relative to the
master. I'm getting s20080314-164-g423bd07 and s20080314-263-ged7aba7 on
my two machines and both just had a git pull/make so they are synced. This
is likely because the last command "merge branch" is a local modification
and hence has a different ID. It would have been best if the two matched
so we could easily tell where people where.

Not perfect, but much better than what we had before.
