Is the prefix the issue or how it is mapped. E.g. I'd find a generalized tag
name like hrev[<branch>-]<revision> (where <branch> defaults to "master")
fine, too.

As written before, I don't find it particularly important for the R1 alpha
releases, since the branches are rather short-lived anyway, but the branch
for R1 (which would run through all beta releases) will probably live a lot
longer. If it is a big deal to implement separate tag namespaces, I could
live with a single namespace too (that's better than no tags in the branches
at all), but I'd prefer separate namespaces.
CU, Ingo
