Comment (by teor):

 For consistency with `GETINFO version`, and almost every other tor version
 display (recommended-versions comes to mind), I would recommend that we:
 * document the format of --version in the tor man page, and add a note
 that the trailing period might be removed in future,
 * ask stem and other tools to update,
 * eventually change tor to remove the trailing period.

 Or we could do nothing.

 By the way, the trailing period makes much more sense in:
 `Tor version 0.3.0.0-alpha-dev (git-f08f72d60654f0f9).`
