Pre-release version numbers are not ascending

3.7.9 was released on April 27.

v3.7.9-224-gc23aaecb55 was released on May 10.

But according to semantic versioning rules for comparing version numbers:

v3.7.9-224-gc23aaecb55 < 3.7.9

which implies v3.7.9-224-gc23aaecb55 was released before 3.7.9, when in fact it was released after.

I think once 3.7.9 was released all future builds should be pre-release builds of 3.7.10 and not of 3.7.9.
