Sometimes, it may be helpful to send patches that aren't quite v1 or v2. Perhaps a small fixup on a patch should be labelled as v1.1. Teach git format-patch to accept string versions so that this is possible.

One thing to consider, when doing a range-diff, it will say "Changes since v1" or something. Perhaps we should change that to say "Changes since last version" or something when the version is not integral.
