I see what you mean, but this sounds like an academic problem. I never met =

someone who confused our unstable version numbers with stable versions. Of =

I don't see how to avoid adding a forth component to the version number to =

achieve this. I would imagine something like 4.x.y.yyyymmdd. So a snapshot =
of =

4.9.0rc2 done this week would be 4.8.92.20120716.
To ensure one knows which code the snapshot refers to, either repositories =

would have to be tagged with the snapshot version number, or we would have =
to =

append the first 8 chars of the commit-id to the (already quite long) versi=
on =

number.
