If you check here: http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/comparison/list.aspx?ck=2&pids=4015,3897 you can see there is a difference with SATA ports. Other things may not be so obvious as they can often be a reconfiguration of the layout or other components.

Often the difference is that when first launched there are  more power phases and little bits like that. Once the motherboard has been thoroughly tested by many users it is more apparent what is the minimum that can be safely used and so this is modified on the revision 2.0 motherboards.
