Hi Toeneeno
I don't know if you would find this in the FAQ, because many new users
probably read the Subversion documentation before running TortoiseSVN.
Anyway section 2.3.2 of TortoiseSVN's own help file discusses the
version numbering scheme which basically starts at 0 and grows ..n.
incrementing exactly 1 for every commit made to the repository. Revision
numbers are all integers, there are no decimal places.
When it comes to releasing *versions*, as distinct from individual revs
which tick over on every commit. its a different matter.
In general communities agree on a Versioning scheme something along the
following lines.
SVN 1.3.4 (optionally rev nnnn), Version 1.3.5 etc are human
contrivances where the most significant digit (1 in this example)
represents something very significant to the community.
The intermediate figure (3 in this example) represents a milestone
version containing significant feature changes, without breaking
previous usability but probably adding a significant feature.
The last digit (e.g. figs shown as 4 & 5) are applied to smaller changes
involving bug fixes or proper completion of new features. There are
rules about breaking/changing APIs which control when these numbers tick
over as well.
The rev number shown as nnnn above is the Subversion revision from which
the release is compiled and distributed.
As stated, the developer communities usually have guidelines published
in files like haxx to much better describe my simplified description.
Hoping that answers your query.
