By default SimpleITK will add -g{GIT_HASH} to the SimpleITK version string used for the egg and install path. SimpleITK has a verbose PEP 386 compliant version. The intension of the CMake flag "SimpleITK_BUILD_DISTRIBUTE" is to be defined for distributed eggs build by our build servers. It removes the -g{GIT-HASH}. Hence, if the GIT_TAG, is on the master or release branch the "g" suffix can be removed and the version will still be fully described, and ordered too.

The idea was to shorten the install path.... Should I remove it to reduce complication?
