It's interressing for git/svn snapshot so you can get a srpm like this 
for exemple :
libkvkontakte-1.0-0.git.20110908.mga2.src.rpm
version here is 1.0 & the Release is set to %mkrel -c git %gitdate

Yep i forgot to mention that it's better to use the date of the snapshot 
instead of the commit hash (which can still be available somewhere in 
the spec for memory).

No you're right, the %git macro here is not correct :p
