I find the bzr revision number useful to easily know the order of revisions.
the name bzr is now a bit strange, so the version string could be:

(2016-08-26 rev 1234 git 67230ac)-master

(users, many times, just give a rev number, no the full version string, so in a bug or mail, rev
1234 has meaning, but revision 67230ac has no meaning, at least for me).
