It comes in-between the tag name (v2.1.0-rc2) and the Git revision proper (g67de23d), prefixed with a =E2=80=98g=E2=80=99. >> Nobody uses it in Email communication because there are no >> sufficient upsides to it. > Is it of any use for anything?

The part of that string after the last =E2=80=98g=E2=80=99 (that is: 67de2= 3d) is an abbreviated Git revision hash, which could be used with just about any Git command.
