Answering myself: here's a simpler trick: Subversion revisions: 0~svn<revision> Switching to git: 0.0~git<date> Ugly, but not as ugly as switching an epoch, and you don't have to pay the price in advance as with '~~' or using dates for everything. And will be properly fixed when they finally issue a version. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best tzaf...@debian.org | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
