Another thing that I think it's important is the difference between git and svn is the way you can commit. In svn it's linear, you commit after another commit but in git it's like a tree you can make branches and merge them with the main branch seperately so a number can't be a good way of determination of current version

Reading a git tutorial (or two) might help to understand the issue. To help understand the differences from SVN, http://hginit.com/00.html is really helpful - it's written for mercurial, but you can just read 'git' everywhere 'hg' or 'mercurial' is used.The old version number HAD some meaning. It gave a sort order, some help where to put a script in my mind. This new system is only useful for computers. Well, we can live together with that, but if there is any chance to install some human readable version, I would appreciate it.I have given you the exact command that you can use to get 'a human readable, incrementing version number'. But I've asked this before, and I'll ask it again: why do you need a revision number? What is the use case, and why couldn't that use case also be handled by a revision hash?Merlijn
