Why? To the contrary I actually quite like the fact that the git commit
is appended to version string. Makes it easy for me to cross-check that
I am booting the right image.

Each time you make a commit, you get a new version, which installs
another copy of the kernel modules on the device. This will fill up the
SD card if you are making many commits.
Also, if someone wants to build the mainline kernel using the default
configuration, it seems odd to have a git revision tacked on to the end
even though you made no revisions.
