Hello List,

Little usage notice:

The number of digits for contribution version number can be specified/changed
by creating an xml file as follows:

Create a file with filename: SkybuckGitFlow.cfg

Put the following contents inside of it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SkybuckGitFlow>
      <BranchVersionDigits>4</BranchVersionDigits>
</SkybuckGitFlow>

The number 4 can be changed to any other number of digits.

(GitHub supports branch names up to 255 bytes so beware).

(The tools will look for this cfg in their current folder and use it, if it's not
there then it will default to 4 digits for contribution version number).

(
Even after the number of digits has been changed the software
will do it's best to increment the version number,
this may or may not be desireable,
so you may want to configure it first ;)
)

Bye for now,
  Skybuck Flying.
