Versioning Gitenberg books

Gitenberg uses Semantic Versioning to describe the changes to books over time. The current version of a GITenberg book is stored in three places:

• As a git tag

• As the value for _version in repo’s metadata.yaml

• On the 3rd line of the main book asciidoc file (prefixed with v)

= Title
Author
RevisionNumber, RevisionDate

A semantic version is in the format of Major.Minor.Patch. The only agreed upon minor revision is a complete epub file built by travis as described in the Second-Folio collection.

For now, assume that your changes increment the Patch value. v0.0.23 would become v0.0.24
