Hi Yihui,
I wanted to thank you for a good post. I will adopt your versioning scheme from now on.

Best,
Tal

Hi Yihui,
Wondering about rules 5 and 6, especially this part (same thing applies to 2.0 vs 1.0). At some point, as I keep adding features, I am going to go from 1.9 to 2.0 and this may not necessarily be due to a big feature or API change (something that will affect backward compatibility). It's just that I've run out of numbers under version 1. What then? Do I just continue on? Sorry if I missed something really obvious here.

The version after 1.9 is 1.10 if there are no significant API changes. Then v1.11, v1.12, ...

By default Git does not sort tags based on semantic version number. You can use the following to change how git tag -l will sort tags:
git config --global tag.sort -v:refname
