If a versioning model doesn't utilize the second dot (many don't), then 1.01 would be the same as 1.0.1 in a project that does use it. The Gitflow model reserves that last digit for hotfixes. However, many developers (including myself) drop the second dot as it's pretty much superfluous. Maybe that's an American thing, I dunno. But having 1.1 == 1.01 would cause this function to be completely and utterly *worthless *for many developers like myself. --Kris
