Perhaps this is a joke I’m not getting in which case I apologise.

The advantage of semantic versioning (SemVer) over git hashes is… well… semantics. You can immediately identify if the next version introduces a breaking change, for instance. This without mentioning ordering, and being easily able to tell versions apart - e.g: which (if any) versions are different in these three versions?

You can get easy check-outs and git-logs by using git tags for each version.
