Stephen,

Taking into account that iproute releases are aligned with the kernel
ones -- is there any real reason for the confusing DDMMYY double
versioning?

I see that even the git tags go after the kernel releases..

Or.

# git remote -v
origin  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git (fetch)
origin  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git (push)

$ git log -p include/SNAPSHOT.h
