I agree they're not human friendly, although they do turn out to be
quite script friendly and mouse friendly, and ok to type because you
can get away with typing the first few characters.

Thing is, I'm not sure what else they could use, while permitting
offline updates and peer symmetry.

Git does provide named tags, which are very handy for things that have
real human version numbers like releases.
