What is the point of the "-snapshot" in the tag name?
The linux kernel does this:
$ git tag -l |grep 3.14
v3.14
v3.14-rc1
v3.14-rc2
v3.14-rc3
v3.14-rc4
v3.14-rc5
v3.14-rc6
v3.14-rc7
v3.14-rc8
$ git describe
v3.14-12236-g39de65a
Git itself follows that same pattern:
$ git tag -l |grep 1.9
v1.9-rc0
v1.9-rc1
v1.9-rc2
v1.9.0
v1.9.0-rc3
v1.9.1
$ git describe
v1.9.1-506-g7bf272c
