git snapshots, PORTVERSION, PORTEPOCH

Would it be okay if I use commit hash in PORTVERSION and constantly bump
PORTEPOCH on each update? Are there any such precedents?

%%%
PORTVERSION=    0.0.10${SNAPSUFFIX}
PORTEPOCH=      1

SNAPSUFFIX=     .${SNAPTYPE}.${SNAPREV}
SNAPTYPE=       git
SNAPREV=        e09f50e
%%%

Where PKGNAME would look like

    myport-0.0.10.git.e09f50e,1

I want to keep commit reference in place and refrain from using vague
dates in PORTVERSION because there can be several commits per day. And
for curious users I can include ChangeLog file in distfile generated
from git-log command.
