Dunce cap should be mine.

The attempt to use linear numbers for something that simply isn't linear
is a recipe for failure. The v4.4-branch starts from v4.4.0 - and so both
master and that branch get numbers in the 4.4.0.gitrev space.

My excuse is that I really don't want to do dot releases and haven't spent
enough time to figure out a way to make this work. And so I just punt and
say "whatever" :-/
