There is no convention, just find an empty number and use it.

I would prefer to use names, but that doesn't really prevent collision
either.  "head -c 20 /dev/urandom | sha1sum" would be better in terms of
always avoiding collisions, but those names are harder to remember than
ex123.c.  If you run into a collision, just rename in your branch
(including the output files) before merging.  The git tools will notice
the rename so it doesn't really mess up history.
