SDK: compiling luci applications, how is the _git-* suffix derived

For Developers
1

I'm compiling some luci apps for my own repo and I'm bumping PKG_RELEASE in the Makefile, to make sure newer packages can be properly upgraded, however during the make process the _git-* suffix is added and it actually determines the package version.

I've compiled different luci apps with the same ./package/luci directory checked out from master and resulting luci apps seem to have different _git-* suffixes as evident here: https://dev.melmac.net/openwrt-repo/.

How can I force the _git suffix to be in sync with the main OpenWrt repos and be the same for all of my luci apps?

You can't. The goal is to have each app to reflect it's last code commit in git.

But the current approach gets impact from the git clone date and style. A shallow clone causes a different version than a ful clone.

That is not tied to Sdk, but likely applies there, too.

See my observations in discussion here.
