https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#Mercurial
has a recommended way/example of how to go about exactly this. I don't
see a reason why this version string wouldn't be okay to use/mirror for
a non-"-hg" package too, if there's not otherwise a good versioning
scheme in place.

This would also allow package versions to be directly comparable if a
-hg package should emerge at a later point.
