To refine the fantasy oh so slightly, it is a tag name per repo/project. They can potentially be distinct and we can't enforce a naming convention across all the repos (I'm thinking imgfac in particular is really working hard to become more firmly entrenched upstream and may have their own process/procedure around tagging). One thing that keeps flitting through my brain but not staying long enough to determine if it is a good idea or not is that it might be handy to have a 'meta-tag' to simplify picking the appropriate tags for all the sub-projects and pushing that information into a dev_tools run. > > devs, any hint on this? > > -- > > Giulio Fidente >
