Not having a leading 'hrev' will make the implementation much more difficult,
as it actually
involves the following:
- adjust the git-hookscript post-receive.pl to support different tagnumber
namespaces
- adjust the apache redirections from Trac's source browser to Cgit
- adjust Trac's internal detection of revision tags in tickets
the latter two would get more complicated and less reliable if we'd no longer
have a unique
(well, nearly) tag prefix ('(h|bt)rev').
Having looked at the required changes has not made me a fan of using the
special tagging
scheme for release branches.
So if more people really feel that we need different tagging namespaces for
release branches,
please speak up!
cheers,
Oliver
