Subject: git version numbers

Hi list,

I was just looking at various versioning schemes, and I came to wonder
about git's one.  Most of the ones out there are of the form
<major>.<minor>.<optional revision> (j.n.r), but git seems to have four,
as in 1.7.5.1.

So, I was wondering what you call each number in the git version; does
the usual j.n.r apply to the last three and the first one is a
"mystery"?  What is the official versioning scheme?  Does each number
have any particular name?
