Subject: tag scheme
Message-ID: <CACY+HvouE0GBH=e4iu7hsFfBJmeZiPKgAC0870S5vPADSYXcJg@mail.gmail.com>

I'm looking for advice on a tagging scheme, especially pros/cons
of using a 'v' prefix as in v2.1.0 like git does.

My impression is that using a common prefix for tags makes it
simple to distinguish from maintenance branches for past releases
but it seems that most repositories use tags without a prefix.
Before I settle on using vX.Y.Z (which I favor right now), I'd like to
understand why some projects do not prefix tags.

Any comments?
