[Classpathx-javamail] CVS tag structure - question - new tags proposed

[Conrad T. Pino]

Sample "cvs status -v README NEWS" output is below.

The presence of "release-1-0" as a branch tag seems appropriate.

However the "release_1_1..." series tags are inverted, specifically
I expected "release_1_1" to be a branch tag and "release_1_1_1" and
"release_1_1_2" to both be revision tags.

This inverted structure seems helpful only if releases such as

        GNU JavaMail 1.1.1 becomes
        GNU JavaMail 1.1.1.1
        GNU JavaMail 1.1.1.2

        GNU JavaMail 1.1.2 becomes
        GNU JavaMail 1.1.2.1
        GNU JavaMail 1.1.2.2

are forth coming whereas the actual release progression seems
to have been:

        GNU JavaMail 1.0
        GNU JavaMail 1.1.1
        GNU JavaMail 1.1.2

and the next release would likely be one of the following:

        GNU JavaMail 1.1.3
        GNU JavaMail 1.2
        GNU JavaMail 1.2.0

What is the rationale behind the inverted tag structure?

Since CVS tags are cheap I propose leaving existing CVS tags
undisturbed and adding these:

        release-1-0-0    (revision tag for 1.0 release)

        release-1-1      (branch tag for 1.1 release series)
        release-1-1-1    (revision tag for 1.1.1 release)
        release-1-1-2    (revision tag for 1.1.2 release)
