..which is an important difference. I still vote for -pre for "preparation 
state" as -git0 does imply some sort of versioning, which *is* meaningless 
in this state.

Linus, this would be a small step for you, but makes a big difference for 
those of us, that miss it sorely. 

Junio: is it possible to automate this in git somehow: make sure, that the 
first commit after a release really happens for a "new" version (e.g. a 
version patch to Makefile)?
