Yes, you are right of course.
But given that development takes place on master in little bits, can you think of a way of implementing this that doesn't require the manual incrementing of a version number every time I merge something to master?
How about a pre-commit hook that checks that for annotated tag commits the correct information is added? This with a helper script for tagging that automatically computes a timestamp based version number and refreshes the script source?
From what I can see the problem is the lack of 'official' versions, so maybe they should be added :)
The helper script is not necessary, there is git describe
.
With the rising popularity of git imerge, and the new fixes provided by newer versions in the repo, the need to have a version number (even if it is date based) becomes more needed.
should provide a version information so that users can know if they have an up to date version or not.
