Yes we understand, but that only applies to centralized SCM like
subversion.
In a distributed SCM like git and monticello the number means nothing.
e.g. there could be two branches yours and mine, and both have 345
commits in it. Supposing that we don't skip any number and did nothing
weird, there would be exactly 690 versions and bot
Package-MiguelCoba.345.mcz and Package-IgorStasenko.345.mcz. If you did
those 345 versions in one day and I did mines on a year, one for day,
the only way to know which one is more "recent" is with timestamps. But
the numbers means nothing in distributed SCMs.
