Because the Rs and underscores offend my delicate sensibilities.

Actually, it's just that they're harder to type and needlessly long.

But feel free to move 'em / rename 'em or whatever.

Nick,Unless something's changed, our repositories do not allow to push deletions of tags to repositories. Source Editing wouldn't still have R3_9_1a and R3_9_1a_final tags if that were commonly allowed. Please verify with the project leads that they're ok handing over the responsibility for tagging and branching to you before you do those things.

The naming scheme we currently use for tags and branches is based on that of the Eclipse Platform repositories, dating back to the days of CVS and through today's 4.8 release. It's a defacto standard rather than one that's mandated, and may well be out of date, but the internal and external consistency has merit that I intend to continue with for Source Editing.
