Part of that is the email address of the committer, the other part is the time of the commit in second resolution, and only the last part, 16 characters in my case, is a meaningless string (which is probably an ASCII encoding of a number). So we could display the global revid as something palatable, if not exactly short. Not that I understand why this would be useful...
