Seconded, sorry for discussing the color of bikeshed, but 'v' is also
not intuitive to me. Since it is still a counter, and we are removing
the 'g' in the second part, cXXXXX-HASH is still distinguishable with
the old cXXXXX-gHASH.

Or, maybe call it gXXXXX-HASH which stands for git commit count XXXXX,
with hash value HASH?

Best,
