We will be seeing more of this same question in the future I'm sure so some consideration should be given to making it a one-up counter again perhaps appending it to the 6-digit git number.
Mike,we have seen the same question with svn revision numbers but you still ignore that svn has the same issue because it supports branching but revision numbers are not incremented separately for each branch. Here's a simple example:
trunk e.g. v2.0.0 gets a change, let's say revision number r1000. A fix is applied to an old branch e.g. 1.0.1 for fix an urgent defect only in that old branch, let's say that is revision r1001. So you are saying that revision numbers allow a user to determine the latest version. So who has the latest version, is it r1001 which is version1.0.1 or is it r1000 which is version 2.0.0?
This should make it perfectly clear that svn revision numbers tell us nothing about the logical linage of a code line. Stop deriding git as a version control system using invalid arguments please.
