Ah, you're right! I've been thinking about release versioning too much lately...

Here's the relevant documentation from
AbstractVersionManager.calculateCheckinVersionName:
The name is determined as follows:
* first the predecessor version with the shortes name is searched.
* if that predecessor version is the root version, the new version
gets the name "{number of successors}+1" + ".0"
* if that predecessor version has no successor, the last digit of it's
version number is incremented.
* if that predecessor version has successors but the incremented name
does not exist, that name is used.
* otherwise a ".0" is added to the name until a non conflicting name is found.
