Django Static Revision retrieves revision string from Git history.
If your source code is not managed by Git, the revision info will be read from a file named .version placed next to manage.py file.

The revision string will be truncated to 10 characters. You can change that by add to Django settings:
STATIC_REVISION_STRING_LENGTH = 10
You can also change the file for Django Static Revision to read revision string from, by add this setting:
STATIC_REVISION_VERSION_FILE = '.version'
where .version is a text file containing any string you want.
