Good news for you Graeme!
In Tools directory there is "svn2revisioninc" which you should compile. After 
that the revision gets updated to correct value also when using a git repo.
I am doing it all the time with git-svn link and Lazarus About-box shows the 
correct revision. :)

The change was made by Mario Bonati, issue #18156.
The issue report has your comments, too.
