[swtbot-dev] Version numbering and git.

[Ketan Padegaonkar <ketanpadegaonkar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

Short story:

I goofed up big time :-(

I've always been under the (wrong) assumption that the qualifier bit of 
the version was treated as an integer.

Long story:

I noticed an issue when running a build off the git repo.

The version numbering scheme with svn was of the form 
2.0.0.SVN_REVISION. The svn revision at the current head was in the 600s.

Moving to git would mean changing the qualifier part to a timestamp of 
sorts. The current timestamp begins with '2010' and sorts lower than the 
SVN revision causing eclipse to not upgrade to a newer version.

I can think of bumping the micro component of the version to make the 
version number 2.0.1.TIMESTAMP to get around this issue. Any other ideas ?
