title: How can I change the maven SNAPSHOT unique version format?
body: <p>When I maven deploy a snapshot build such as <code>myproject-1.0-SNAPSHOT</code> maven will helpfully tag the snapshot with the date and the build number - something like <code>myproject-1.0-20160720.182254-6.jar</code>. Is there any way I can control the format of this unique tag? </p>
  
  <p>In particular I'm trying to solve two problems:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I want to know the exact artifact that I just uploaded so that I can pull it into a docker image. There are potentially several builds in parallel for different developers so I need to get the exact version.</li>
  <li>I want to tie the snapshot unique ID to the checkin id in git.</li>
  </ul>
