I tend to disagree (I do not claim + is _less_ easier to read, though). They are of comparable readability, and I think plus breaks GIT-VERSION-GEN (the primary reason it replaces '-' to '.' is to work around RPM limitation IIRC, and I do not know what '+' does to RPM offhand). But I do not have a strong feeling either way. - 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
