I was assuming Semantic Versioning (SV). Not because that’s the policy
in Git (?) but because this problem happened in a JS app./library. And
SV as far as I understand it define _breaking changes_ relative to the
“public API”. And for git-log(1) the public API is the documentation,
right?

(But maybe I’ve just never managed to understand SV.)

I also see now that this is some SV app./library.
