The problem with this version scheme is that it is not guaranteed to be increasing. i.e the git sha has no version relevance.

For reference: other distros seem to have adopted a date-format for the version: https://repology.org/project/rofi-bluetooth/versions

To get to the date format, you could just use %cd as the version format (or %cd.%h)

we have @TAG_OFFSET@ for just this, see for example librseq/_service how to use this

tag offset only works if you have a base tag. which is not the case here.

    <param name="versionformat">0~git%ct.%h</param>

would be my fallback.

you can just define the first commit to be the parent-tag
