[Python-Dev] hg conversion: tags (original) (raw)

For example, it might be interesting to bring old release tags in line with newer tags (so Release10 would become r10), or maybe use clean tags similar to what we do with hg itself (r266 would become just 2.6.6), or just remove some tags. Is this a good idea at all, or should we just leave everything the way it is now?

Removing tags sounds fine with me. Renaming them not so; I fail to see the point.

These could go, IMO. Anything that's there for merge maintenance can go, IMO.

This one can go as well. In general, I propose to remove all tags which aren't copies of trunk or some branch (i.e. tagging only a part of the Python source tree). I suppose hg can't represent that adequately, anyway (they often come from CVS, and even CVS can only barely represent tags that cover only one or a few files).
