Consider this scenario:
- Nathaniel submits RADIUS patches that update the API version (from
2.69 to 2.70)
- I have ACI patches that also bump the version (from 2.69 to 2.70)
- Nathaniel's patches gets accepted
- I rebase my ACI patches onto master. Git thinks that the 2.69->2.70
change is already done, so it leaves VERSION unchanged.
I can solve this locally by telling Git to not merge VERSION
automatically, but I think it would be helpful to add a unique comment
to each change so that everyone gets a conflict cases like this.
Do you agree?

Subject: [PATCH] Add comment about last change to VERSION
When a branch with API version bump is rebased, but the version was
also bumped in master, Git thinks the change was already done and
loses it.
A comment unique to each change will cause a merge conflict in
this case, so the developer is reminded to update the number.
