As a workaround to make life easier for third-party tools, the

The first maintenance release for it will be "Git 1.9.1", and the
major release after "Git 1.9.0" will either be "Git 2.0.0" or "Git
1.10.0".

Apologies if this ground has been tread before, but has there been a
version numbering discussion? A quick google didn't seem to turn
anything up.

This seems to be an opportune time to drop the useless first digit.
Explicitly, the major release numbers would be: 1.8, 1.9, then 2.0,
3.0, 4.0, etc, with the 2nd digit would take the meaning of the
current 3rd digit and so on.
