Hi all, For a long time I've felt that the NixOS version string format
VERSION "pre" NUM_COMMITS_SINCE_THE_VERY_BEGINNING is a bit odd. It feels like a MAJOR.MINOR.PATH format, but PATCH is every increasing. I personally would prefer the "number of commits" number to be start over each time the version number is bumped. IMHO, that would make it easier to reason about which version you're on. I think such a version number format would also match nicely with what "git describe" would print if/when we have proper annotated git tags for releases (we should!). Thoughts?
