Could you give an example for linux kernel versioning? I am not sure how adding +1 somewhere will solve the collision problem. It will simply occurs later.

@Sinatr: The stable released versions of the Linux kernel were 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, etc. Version 2.5 would be an unstable (trunk) version. The trick is in bumping the version number twice between release branches.
