Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-1079:
---------------------------------------

I'm sorry, this is entirely my fault. I don't really know why I didn't do it properly in the first place. We should separate Minor and git sha/svn rev with a dash. But I don't know if the change or the new format breaks anything down the line.

> The local version info is awesome to be able to track down exactly what commit someone has built locally with, but the way that info is appended caused some confusion:
> 1.2.0ac052866-git
> I tried a handful of git sha's from that info before I broke down and read the bootstrap and acinclude.m4.in sources to figure out what was going on. It turns out, the version info is:
> 1 (Major) 2 (Minor) 0 (Revision) a (Alpha) (c052866-git) (Local)
> As you might guess, figuring out why Git was telling me that revisions 0ac052886 and ac052886 was mildly irritating. I would propose we just add a dot to separate the local part as in:
> 1.2.0a.c052886-git
> I'd commit this but I figured I should go ahead and see if anyone has any objections first.
