FWIW, I would say just do whatever you want. People will figure it
out. I do not see that this is a problem. Your downloads and about
dialog are very clear about the Subversion version.
With Subclipse we use odd/even version numbering so our current
version is 1.8.7. We have never tried to align with the Subversion
release number. That would be pointless as it would imply we can only
do releases when there are Subversion releases.
