The watch file takes regular expressions.  If you just delete the micro
version in an uversionmangle watch will not spot those x.y.[1-9]
releases as "new version".  Feel free to ask for more detailed
explanation.  However to be really sure that the watch file works
correctly it would be sensible to just add these tags in GitHub and test
if its working.
 
Kind regards

     Andreas.
