Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/semver/semver/issues/43
While implementing the Semantic Versioning rules as a class and an assembly attribute in .Net, I noticed that there is no explicit rule when comparing pre-release or build elements of two version strings that have a different number of dot separated identifiers.
An example:
v1 = 1.0.0-rc.1
v2 = 1.0.0-rc.1.20120810
Lexicographic order would suggest that v1 has precedence over v2 as it is shorter. Personally, I would recommend that v2 has precedence as it contains more information, and that's the way I implemented it in my project.
Any thoughts and comments are appreciated!
