Releases get tagged in the repository, so including the revision should be trivial.

I still don't follow what you are looking for.
Yes cvs,svn and bzr are repositories in Sourceforge I don't know git. We now use the bzr repository. The source that is still in cvs and svn is years out of date. This is where the source code is held. and release versions are tagged.
The release versions of stellarium are held in the stellarium projects area under their version number ie the latest official release is 0.11.4.
The previous is 0.11.3 and all the older releases are held in this area too.
If I am running a release version the only guide is on the splash screen which will give the release number.
All other versions are unofficial and my compiles use the source build number.
If you have bazaar installed you can type in a command window:- bzr help and find out about the bazaar and how it works
I can't compile 64 bit Stellarium because I need to compile a 64bit version of Qt 4.8.2 (about a 10GB folder). But I need mingw 64bit to do this and that also needs to be compiled however I can't compile mingw 64 at the moment because my virus detector says it has a trojan and won't let me get past the point where it tries to read the virus bearing file.
