Centralized Version Number about gregorio HOT 4 CLOSED

Oh, and it would also be nice if commits to the main project repository would trigger a webhook which would automatically increment the version number.

Could pull the version number from the commit hash. Would not be a nice +1 increment though.

Edit: git rev-list --count master is a possibility. Counts the number of commits on the branch.

The issue I see with a simple count is that it doesn't have any reset possibilities.

If we are at version number 2.4.1, then ideally the hook should increment the last, and only the last number, changing the version number to 2.4.2. A subsequent commit should increment to 2.4.3, etc. However, at some point we're going to want to manually increment one (or both) of the first two numbers and reset the third: e.g. 2.5.0. A simple count would continue to increment the third number resulting in something like 2.5.4. This, I think, would be unduly confusing.

You are right, though, that only commits to the master branch should matter (as your suggestion implies).

Fixed by #48 and #51. Please close.
