I am sympathetic to the position that giant version numbers can be confusing to end users, but I hope it is clear from my previous email that each of those numbers has a meaning, and that developers, system administrators, and clueful users can see from the version number what they should expect to change. A simpler versioning scheme loses that information. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
