FWIW here is the approach I use which may help avoid that issue:
1. Make changes to local db and code.
2. Debug.
3. Make changes to kohastructure.sql, updatedatabase.pl, & kohaversion.pl
4. Commit and create patch.
5. git reset --hard HEAD~1.
6. git am -3 dbchanging.patch
7. Test to see if update goes ok (will note some errors when
updatedatabase.pl attempts to INSERT/UPDATE/DROP/DELETE things that
are already there/missing)
8. If my db version number is taken by that point, I simply:
a. git reset --hard HEAD~1
b. change db ver number in dbchanging.patch
c. do any git fetch/git rebase that needs to be to catch the new
db rev number
d. git am -3 dbchanging.patch
9. I have only run upon one or two occasions where this did no play
nice and I had to hack at things to get them fixed.
YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary)
(Critique welcomed.)
Some procedure like this would allow db ver numbers to be claimed as
the patch is submitted, avoiding (hopefully) regularly occurring db
ver number clashes.
