Things like checkpatch could help advise people to bump the version number, but it's a bit iffy. Matt D. actually uses the special source version modinfo for DKMS - which is different - but it makes me wonder whether dynamically generating a version based on source SHA1 wouldn't be a better idea in most cases than an outdated hard-coded one.
Comments?
