Version counter for package.json and git tags

Dub take care about your project releases count. You don't have to remember or check at git to know the next version number. You'll never have again a mistaken version tag in your repository. And also, you don't have to open your "package.json" file to update it. All this things are made by dub in a very simple way.

You only have to take care about the first git tag name. Go to the root directory of the project and then type dub. This software mantain the different name conventions you usually use in your projects and you don't have to remember each one if you use different naming for different repos.

What it does?

Dub is going to check your last git-tag release and copy the scheme. So if you like to name your versions vX.X.X dub write vX.X.X++ in git. If you like version-X.X.X dub write version-X.X.X, you don't have to change the way you dub things. It doesn't matter, the software take care about it.
In the package.json file dub allways write the semServer readable way for you. So it allways work with npm and other json based package managers.
