Not exactly. For small projects with few files, there is no reason not to use the file _revision_ numbers as the file _version_ number. For example, you can embed something like the following in a Perl script: $VERSION = (qw$Revision: 3.2 $)[1]; # parens only needed for Perl < 5.6 and the $VERSION will be incremented as the revision is incremented (as you commit the file, in other words). When you want to step up the next major release, you can bump the revision on all associated files using Commit/Force Revision. Of course, if you do this, I recommend that you do your development on a branch, so that you limit your releases to Revisions like #.#, instead of having lots of Revision/Version jumps between releases. Just merge to the HEAD before releasing. You are correct that for larger projects, it is preferable to use tags to define "Versions" for release purposes, but it is really not required for small projects. But, in practice, the only way that the Revision will ever progress beyond 1.x is if you force it during a commit.
