- Release tags
In order to be able to checkout a particular 'state' of the released branch we will create tags corresponding to each state (e.g. before applying new patches). Those are not meant to be used by regular users (other than bug-tracking maybe).
Erik and me propose to use a tag name which starts with the branch name, adding a string, e.g. ET_2010_06_A, ET_2010_06_1 or ET_2010_06_01. I propose ET_2010_06_ follwed by an upper case letter in alphabetical order, e.g. ET_2010_06_A. This allows for 26 tags, by which we probably should release a new version anyway. The scheme ET_2010_06_ plus one digit would only allow for 9 (or 10 if you include the 0) tags, while two digits could be mistaken to be a day.
Please comment on this scheme if you have an opinion about it. We should come to an agreement soon to create those tags such that the two patches mentioned earlier can be committed.
I suggest ET_2010_06_v0 for the initial release, ..._v1 etc. for subsequent ones.
