Often when that happens to me, I'll just piggyback off the prior bump by
just documenting the version bump as also covering what I just did. Though
there is some judgement too based on number of days and how bad the effects
in the in between zone might be. It's always a fuzzy thing if you zoom in
on it, though, due to after the fact bumps.
