I have never understood this developer notion of trying to avoid incrementing version numbers

Oh thats easy. We are numerically inclined us developers. So when we see 2.2.0, 2.2.1, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.7 we immediately want to know what the hell happened to 2.2.2, 2.2.5 and 2.2.6. And when the answers is "well er, I, ah, well, you know screwed, ah, er, the tarball" we are inclined to think the less of the poor chap involved, even when secretly we know weve all done it at least once or twice ourselves.

But you are of course correct. Bumping the version number is the right way to procede, but sometimes pshychology outweighs logic.
