How about.. ".. "1.0-rc1" will appear before "1.0". This key can be specified multiple times, one for each suffix. The order of suffixes in the config file determines the sorting order (e.g. if "-pre" appears before "-rc" in the config file then 1.0-preXX is sorted before 1.0-rcXX). The sorting order between different suffixes is undefined if they are in multiple config files" -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
