Hi Justin, thanks for that link - i didn't run into that page on the wiki. So i will use the last git pkgver() example on that page: printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" -> r1142.a17a017 This is incremental, independent of tags and includes the fingerprint for reference.

For the git pkgver functions, you're best off checking the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_PKGBUILD_Guidelines
The first one you posted is the only one listed there. The function you are using at the moment will return a random version as it's just the fingerprint of the latest commit; That means it may or may not get seen as an update when people go to build the next version. You need to make sure it is something that makes sense and increments as new commits are made. You should rarely have to deviate from what is on that VCS PKGBUILD guidelines page.
