I currently work with a development, staging, and production version of Discourse. My development version is always on `tests-passed` so that features I am working on will definitely work on the most recent version.

I then add, let’s say a plugin, to my staging Discourse and concurrently upgrade my staging Discourse to the latest version (ex: `1.6.0.beta7`). If all goes well, I do the same for production. So essentially dev is on `tests-passed` and the other two are forced on the last upgrade.

I have recently encountered a problem where my dev Discourse is on version `1.6.0.beta7 +179`. Somewhere in those 179 commits, a change was made that _helps_ one of my plugins to work. So on my staging, version `1.6.0.beta7` (not including the +179 commits) the plugin is broken.

So in short, can I set the version of a Discourse to `1.6.0.beta7 +179` somehow?

**Edit:** If specify the build would that do the trick? Something like: `1.6.0.beta7, build: bfc8b3362b`
