File-Based Versioning – Possibility of Using Custom Properties to Control Revision Behavior

In OOTB versioning schemes, revision behavior can be controlled using various properties such as delta, min, max, and skip list.

I have implemented a custom file-based versioning solution and wanted to understand whether it is possible to implement similar custom properties to control behaviors such as skipping versions, setting minimum revisions, and setting maximum revisions.

To clarify, other than an ordered list in your file, you would like to implement special rules? Can you give some examples? We employ a simple Mil-Spec version scheme but added special skip files via a listener. Not perfect but handles most cases where the default rules needed to vary. My advice, keep it very simple. Let versions increment naturally and do not bake to much into it.
