OK, so we're just using git for versioning, which should work fine. The 
one potential issue I see with it is the version number is not 
indicative of how many review cycles have been passed. E.g. DIP1002 is 
already at revision 7, which is an irrelevant number to the casual 
reader. "What do you think of DIP2749?" "Which revision you mean?" "Well 
it's revision 38." "Would that be before or after the third review?" etc.

I'd like to have a simple tag a la DIP2749 v1 for the first review 
round, DIP2749 v2 for the second review round, and so on. So then people 
can refer to "DIP2749 v3" in casual conversation. Is this feasible?
