I'm very sorry; it was never my intention to start a discussion about
how different releases of a software should be numbered. Just for
clarification: we use the first three parts to identify the release
(major, minor, bugfix). The repositories revision number (call it
'build' or what you like) just gives a hint to the status of the
repository at the time the snapshot was taken.
In fact, the revision number is part of the tag since creating a tag
changes the repository's revision number. Of course everyone is free
to hide such information from customers.
