Hi,

you aren't alone, the developers of the Jack 2 sound server bump the
version after release, too. I'm not aware that anybody else does it
like Jack 2 and Evolution do, most (if not all other) developers
seemingly consider the git commits as an addition to the released
version.

I informed him, that -DVERSION_SUBSTRING="gitXXXXX" should be used.
