Well, since we have a 0.X.<snapshot> scheme, and X is always increasing, does 
it really matter if a date is in there, or that the numbers past X even 
increment the right way?

0.1.1234svn
0.2.1233svn
0.3.1334svn

Wouldn't those work?  I think the only thing we'd want to avoid is the gnarly 
git and hg sha sums as revisions.
