2. "+" mostly of times means "combination"
I question that it does. It certainly does not for me.
Note we are talking version numbers here, where there is more math than prose involved; therefore, '+' meaning addition/increase is more topical than agglomeration.
Agreed (IIUC).
I think git20130910 might be good idea. you know it's from git, you know it's state, if you wanna search, github has a timestamp (although some heavy contributors may commit many times a day, but actually it's not a good habit)
Strongly disagree that it's not a good habit. There are plenty of good reasons for rapid iteration (included automated package building).
The timestamp is useless as mentioned previously
Mentioned by who? It's certainly not useless - it's *required* for correct chronological ordering, as I already mentioned.
as multiple commits may have the same (1s-resolution) timestamp.
True (although it should be very rare) - that's why you need both the timestamp and the hash.
An offset (with or without hash, depending on what's needed) is both short and precise.
