+1. I still like the git describe version format I commented on a few months ago:
$ git describe --abbrev=6 6.14.1-8-g903e90that is versiontag-hash with a shortened hash. It directs you to the code in reference to:
* the last major version * the revision they are in order by version, and gives you the commit.Using the odd revision numbers tags on every commit seems like trying to make
