just because you use an OS as your editor does not make that the
de-facto-standard :)

> 24.4.50.6, whereas today I'm on 24.4.50.7!

well, this kind of version number does not really work well with
distributed instances of the fluxbox-source-tree. while you could be
on 1.1.1.1 for any given commit i could be on the same 1.1.1.1 while
beeing on a completely different commit which i have not pushed out to
the world yet. just relying on the commit-id is enough.

when you jump into #fluxbox and shout out your new stuff for your
1.1.1.1 .. who else would have the exakt same number? even when the
number is the same: you would have to say: i am running 1.1.1.1 PLUS
this number of my other cool patches which you dont have.

so, at least we don't do it the emacs-way, we just release a version
from time to time and otherwise refer to the git-commit which
introduced a stupid bug :)

cheers,
