Neither of these: we have rules for date stamping and they use
YYYYMMDD, not YYYY-MM-DD. 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Snapshot_packages

I'd probably go with erlang-zlib-0-1.YYYYMMDDgitCOMMIT

where the 0 is the 'release', and 1 is the revision. You could also go
with erlang-zlib-0-0.1.YYYYMMDDgitCOMMIT , using the pre-release
snapshot style, to be super conservative.
