Azure-devops-docs: The Revision number doesn't have to have the "." in the format

[alansingfield]

You don't need the "." within the revision number format.
$(date:yyyyMMdd).$(rev:r) is the same as $(date:yyyyMMdd)$(rev:.r)
I wanted to start my revision numbers at 101 rather than 1, so I set the format to:
$(date:yyyyMMdd).1$(rev:rr)

The docs also say $(Rev:.r) is e.g. 2, but really it's e.g. .2.

This leads to extra .'s if you take the doc at face value and do $(date:yyyyMMdd).$(rev:.r): 20181025..1.

(I think it would be difficult to document that . isn't required without clearing up what I'm seeing, so just leaving a comment here. 😄)

[alansingfield]

Probably the default format needs to be amended, going forward you could set it to:

$(date:yyyyMMdd).$(rev:r)
rather than
$(date:yyyyMMdd)$(rev:.r)

This wouldn't break anything would it?

I'm not sure if you're asking me the question--just in case: I don't know, I'm just another AzDO user. 😄 I'm just pointing out a very related doc issue that I imagine will be fixed at the same time as this one.

OK - understood!
