Compare two integer revisions to see if one is greater than the other.
This cannot be done in git.
It *is* possible to tell which of 2 git commits happened later,
chronologically, but that requires the git repo.

This gives you the last tag (aka release number) and the number of
commits since that last tag. If you assume that somebody is tracking the
central repository, comparing those two numbers is a rather good
approximation of a linear revision number.
Maybe not ideal, but I think a sufficient approximation.
