Just call the f'ng Version: 1.5+git and spell out everything else in the %description. The Release: will automatically increase everytime you commit and ensure that people get the latest version your hands produced, even if there was branch-hopping or shipping an older git snapshot (a revert in essence).
Hiding important metadata in %description is going to cause problems. For example, a decent bugreport will contain version numbers of all relevant rpms involved in the bug, but it will not contain a copy'n'paste of running rpm -qi on all those rpms. So your proposed change would require a lot of developers to have to say "thanks but please can you run rpm -qai and send me the output" every time they receive a bug report. Not a good idea.
The bug report will contain version numbers and release numbers. Developers can recover the exact source from the release number, can't they? Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
