1. It is doing that by-design; ALL text that is send over the internet (in context of OTTD) is truncated at some point. For revisions it's fairly short, because there's no real reason to make them any longer.
2. Not truncating it causes much more hassle (and possible buffer overflows)
3. Truncating already happens way before it is actually send; clients can even join the server, just because we know about the limitation and have written it to cope with "too long" revision strings
4. It works perfectly OK. Is your revision distinguishable from the rest?
5. Changing it means changing the game network protocol, which makes servers invisible for everyone not running the version that changed the protocol (or something higher) OR makes them not display it correctly, which is what this bug report is about.
