Description
It would be awesome to have the system id which is provided by the SCM be the first bytes of the current git commit hash. I think we can do something with either the Makefiles or tcl-pre for synthesis.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the repository's Makefiles and the tcl-pre synthesis entry point to find where the SCM-provided system id is assigned. Trace how synthesis consumes that value and determine the expected format for using the first bytes of the current git commit hash. Done means the generated system id consistently reflects the commit hash.
