Description
Currently it's impossible to tell which commit you've downloaded because all the artifacts are named the same. To know if your edit is up for testers you need to download, unzip, run, go to about menu, and then click the commit link, which then opens the browser and finally you can see what it's built against. You can't copy the commit hash from the dialog, so you really have to repeat those steps every time.
If the artifact name contained the hash, it'd be instantly trivial to tell if it's your commit or not because you've just pushed it and you can compare the hash without downloading and launching.
