Well, and also because git is not linear.

Suppose the following happens:

Alan grabs the latest git build (v0.9.9.1-92-gd4ec7d8)
Bob grabs the latest git build (v0.9.9.1-92-gd4ec7d8)
Charlie grabs the latest git build (v0.9.9.1-92-gd4ec7d8)

Alan adds a commit to his version which fixes all bloom issues.
Bob adds a commit to his version which fixes all network issues.
Charlie adds a commit to his version that makes PPSSPP delete all your data off your hard drive on startup.

Each of their versions will be v0.9.9.1-93. If you say "network fixed, WOW, use v0.9.9.1-93", then people might grab Charlie's build and have a bad day.

However, they will each have a different commit hash. v0.9.9.1-93-g123456. That last part says *which* 93rd commit since v0.9.9.1 it is.

When they get merged into master, they will remain named -93 each (even on the buildbot download page) since they are all 93 commits away from v0.9.9.1. But the merge commits will be higher numbers.

Git is not linear. Multiple people can work simultaneously.

Thank you for the fix, Unknown! Can game be moved to [playable] now? :3
