Because SVN is a master repo, LLVM/Clang bugtracking relies on SVN revisions not Git hashes, finally you always know when some of your build are newer than others.

@Mark: This was the idea behind this patch. If you have your own modifications you see Git repo and hash (that exists in your repo), otherwise you see SVN URL and version (as if you checked out with SVN, unless you don't rebase of coz :)
