I very much do, but not yet in libusb-pbatard. I'm doing that in Rufus 
with a pre-commit hook and it works spendidly [1]. I'm also tagging each 
commit there, which is my own business, and which I'm not planning to do 
for libusbx.

That's why I'm proposing it. I've already done it elsewhere. So please 
wait for the actual proposal before saying it's not feasible, thank you.

Do I? I'm using a different scheme of incrementation in -pbatard, which 
is not tied to commits, and where the increment occurs when I feel like 
enough changes warrant it, not for each commit. Again, don't assume that 
what I do in -pbatard is what I want to do for libusbx.

Not if they use the pre-commit hook. Unless we have more than 2 or 3 
maintainers, this is a non issue.
