Just as an hint. Ubuntu/Debian would use something like:

 3.6.0~alpha1
 3.6.0~alpha1+daily20120606 
 3.6.0~beta1
 3.6.0.1

I really like it. I would like to use it in the future for git tags and
source tarballs.

The problem might be the tilda '~'. It is substituted to $HOME in linux
shell. I am not sure about other special meaning in some programing
languages or so.

Yes, I mindlessly followed Rene in using _ instead of ~ in git tags, never
wondering why. _ has the advantage over ~ to be sorted in front of lowercase
ASCII, so for as long as "subversions" start with some lowercase letters,
standard ASCII sorting 'does the Right Thing'. But I bet Rene can elaborate
better on that than me ;)

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=534494 seems to have all the
gory details of using _ instead of ~.

Best,

Bjoern
