You can fabricate your own version string by writing a local setup.cfg
file in your zc.form checkout that has the contents:

  [egg_info]
  tag_build = dev
  tag_svn_revision = true

Before doing that, I get something like:

  % python setup.py egg_info
  ...
  % cat src/zc.form.egg-info/PKG-INFO | grep "^Version"
  Version: 0.1

And then after adding a local setup.cfg:

  % python setup.py egg_info
  ...
  % cat src/zc.form.egg-info/PKG-INFO | grep "^Version"
  Version: 0.1dev-r75344
