Last year I asked Tom on the list to label everything. He came through. 

I don't remember exactly what he said, but I've been using the following
naming conventions without any apparent confusion when talking to others:

c : category
b : branch component
v : version component
r : revision component

arch--ive  : archive
c          : category
c--b       : package
c--b--v    : version
c--b--v--r : revision

arch--ive/c--b       : fully qualified package
arch--ive/c--b--v    : fully qualified version
arch--ive/c--b--v--r : fully qualified revision

James
