Not sure about how Haiku does that, but Haiku uses tags that are noticeable when downloading (git clone or pull). I believe tags show the revision number. I haven't run Haiku in several years; all I have is USB-stick image from November 2012, downloaded 2014 (?), too old to be able to compile newer versions, and trying to cross-compile from FreeBSD or NetBSD has never been successful.
