Re: [Libguestfs] Proposal to start tagging releases in git with v<VERSION>

For historical reasons that don't really matter now, we currently tag all releases with just the version number, eg: commit 6b48977cb7100e4f214b189052d4f0bf61523d11 (HEAD -> master, tag: 1.33.26, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Author: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Tue May 3 14:49:59 2016 +0100 Version 1.33.26. Of course this isn't the way that git versions are normally tagged. The normal convention is to use "v<VERSION>" (eg. "v1.33.26"). I propose that I start tagging new releases this way (see the patch below). This shouldn't be controversial. The question is should I tag new releases with the "old style" tags? I'd prefer not to. Should I go back and add "v<VERSION>" tags to all the old releases? Again, I'd prefer not to, but could do that if anyone thinks it's necessary.
