It is more complicated than I thought (ie. I didn't think properly).

A lot more work for the maintainer. How about having an out-of-date marker
instead of a version number. If it is wrong, it has to be replaced
completely, so it does not matter which older version is used. That means
you don't have to go through and change the numbers on every release.

"Screenshot name", "Revision_EN", "Revision_DE"
AddedIcon.png, + , +
BlameDialog.png, @, #
Commit.png, #, -
CommitContextMenu.png, #, =

+ means independent
- means missing
= means same as english
@ means up-to-date
# means out-of-date

Also, if this file is versioned, then Stefan can mark a screenshot as
outdated if he changes the UI for something.

It is complicated, but I think it would help to keep the docs in sync with
the software.
