Yes, the filenames get pretty long indeed. However, you have to distinguish
between the upstream version number (2011.02.22) and the date you checked out
the sources (not the date of the changeset but actually the date you cloned or
pulled the sources). This way you ensure that the release tag of future
packages with newer snapshots but identical version number is greater than the
current one, e.g. 2011.02.22-0.1.20110222gitFOO <
2011.02.22-0.1.20110225gitBAR. Otherwise, rpm wouldn't be able to determine
what package is the newer one.

The hash value after "git" is optional though, and you can drop it if you want.
