One line, perhaps, but I do not think any byte-limit is reasonable.

It is unreasonable to limit the form to X.Y.Z; after we hit Git 2.0,
it is likely that we would go to two-decimals.

If the "parsing" is done for white/blacklist purposes, is there a
need to straight-jacket the verison string format like this series?
