Originally created by @NerdyDuck on GitHub (Aug 10, 2012).

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!
