| That works well with things like Subversion which ensure that the
| "revision number" is monotonically increasing.  My understanding of git

| project-wide unique version number, and it's revisions look like "commit

| compare sensibly when considered as numbers.

ENOCLUE about git. It may well be that my suggestion does not apply to
this particular RCS. In this case, sorry for the noise :)
