[Opensim-dev] versioning question

[krtaylor]

I have been playing around with a solution for the sequential version 
reporting, but it is not as simple as it may seem. The best description 
of the problem and solution I have found is at:

The catch is that we appear to be using tag objects that are orphaned. 
To see an example of that, just run git show-ref on a clone tree for 
0.6.6-release. The hash is shown, but then git log does not contain that 
hash, even when tracking the master.

It seems that we need to switch to a slightly different policy of 
checking in and tagging at a release boundary and no orphaning that tag 
object. Alternatively, we could just lightweight tag the checkin that 
changes the release version file.

Comments?
