Comment (by pulkomandy):
So, I've been digging in RFCs a bit. I would suggest using a tag URI as
specified in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4151. It would look something
like this (the scheme requires us to use a past date at which we owned the
haiku-os.org domain or can proove that it was not registered to anyone
else, we can pick any, I just went with the current year):
* tag:haiku-os.org,2020:repositories/haiku/r1beta2 for Haiku
* tag:haiku-os.org,2020:repositories/haikuports/r1beta2 for Haikuports
This makes it clear that the "url" is not an http url, while being more
readable than an UUID.
Anyone can easily assign their own tags using their own domain name or
email address when they create a repo.
The current identifier specifies both the branch name ("master") and a tag
("current", I don't know if we stil have per-hrev repos available), should
this be kept? Tag URIs support fragments, so we could simply do something
like this: tag:haiku-os.org,2020:repositories/haiku/r1beta2#hrev12345
