Several GNU projects (including GCC) do leave off .0's for anything past the
minor number, so it seems ls -v can't be the final authority :/
What I do is timestamp pre-release snapshots, which does work with ls -v
(and just ls). That is, I might have:
naim-0.11.5-2002-12-08-1324.tar.gz
naim-0.11.5.1-2002-12-18-0014.tar.gz
naim-0.11.5.1-2002-12-21-1710.tar.gz
naim-0.11.5.1.tar.gz
naim-0.11.5.2-2002-12-23-0720.tar.gz
...
naim-0.11.5.8-2003-06-03-1123.tar.gz
naim-0.11.5.8.tar.gz
naim-0.11.5.tar.gz
0.11.5.8-2003-06-03-1123 is the last pre-release before 0.11.5.8, and shows
up before 0.11.5.8 in ls. The only problem is the lack of .0's that leave
0.11.5's pre-releases in the right spot, but sticks the 0.11.5 release after
all of its subordinate releases.

There are people who do things and people who take the credit, and the
trick is to be in the first group; there is a lot less competition. --
