Yes, I think a Vote is a good idea.  Makes it very clear, and follows
established Apache process, and gives a definite cut-off point.

Does that duplicate the entire Git repository? It kind of looks like it
does.

I thought everyone else used the Subversion number the way I do. I manually
increment the <major>, <minor> and <rev> numbers, and generate the <build>
number automatically. It is not possible to embed a hash number into a
build number, so I'm not clear on what you are suggesting.

I can get used to Git. I've used many version control systems (RCS, VCS,
PVCS, SourceSafe, Perforce, Subversion, Mercurial, etc.). So, I look to
those more experienced to help migrate to it. I see that it has advantages,
but it also has disadvantages.
