feat(`releases`): make the versions lex sortable

[sambacha]

Component

Forge, Cast, Anvil, Foundryup, Chisel

Describe the feature you would like

Previously I argued for this sort of scheme in #701

TZ=UTC git show --quiet --date="format-local:%Y.%-m.%-d" --format="nightly-%cd"
>> nightly-2024.2.15

Instead something like this (prefixing nightly- can be done)

git show -s "--format=%cd-%h" "--date=format:%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"
>> 20240215-124254-59fbc5a

Hi @sambacha

Our current reported versions look as follows:

$ forge --version
forge Version: 1.0.0-nightly
Commit SHA: 9bcfbaa6e6066fb9f87ce07163f5479d4b124563
Build Timestamp: 2025-02-26T00:21:24.429838503Z (1740529284)
Build Profile: maxperf

$ forge -V
forge 1.0.0-nightly (9bcfbaa6e6 2025-02-26T00:21:24.429838503Z)

and in the cheatcode it is

0.3.0-nightly+3cb96bde9b.1737036656.debug

• feat: add vm.foundryVersionCmp and vm.foundryVersionAtLeast cheatcodes #9845 cheatcodes

Is this sufficient or is there still something missing?

Thanks!

Maybe an adjustment like this:

I think this should make the versions lex. sortable

E.g. "v2.0.0-beta.2-7-g12ab34cd56.debug*"
       ttttttttttttt N hhhhhhhhhhhDDDDDd
  t => last matching annotated tag
  N => distance (in commits) from tag
  h => git commit id (hash)
  D => Debug work tree
  d => dirty tree flag
