Yes, the 1.3-post is for version constraints (e.g. '>= 1.3-post'). It
can't identify a specific point between releases, so you might still
want to add the commit hash (or date) to the version when installing.

Ideally, you'd be able to have a constraint saying "includeds Git
commit 7de867c"). However, checking that would be slow for a Git clone
and impossible for a release archive.
