I kind of like the middle approach, with '-' before the SHA1; the version
is 6.9.375 (ie. 375 changesets since 6.9), while the -3e3f8 offers
additional information on which commit lands in position 375, but doesn't
add any additional versioning granularity.

I'm okay with keeping the 'g' prefix out for brevity, provided you then
use the separator '-' to keep the distinction of the role of the suffix as
a non-monotonic string that represents the commit id.
