I've made it a habit *not* to enable the option in setup.cfg that adds 
those svn revision numbers to the version. It is enabled by default in 
all/most of the ZopeSkel-generated packages that I use.

That single change forces me to maintain a proper version number in the 
setup.py ("0.9 dev 3" for development versions). That is the spot where 
you make a change anyway when doing a release. It is waaaay too easy to 
forget to remove the subversion revision option from setup.cfg (and 
having to enable it again after the release).


Somehow it helps :-)
