Well, since -rX is revision number, what was proposed is in effect using a dated revision number, so instead of _rc2-rYYYYMMDD-r1, it would be a new -rYYYYMMDD. The additional data that the second one is simply a revision of the first would of course be lost. OTOH, what happens then when another snapshot is taken but not yet stabilized, and say a security revision of the first snapshot is required. Then we have two different -r snapshot sequences interleaving. So then to cure that we end up with this: _rc2-rYYYYMMDDrr, where rr being two digits taking the place of the second revision sequence ( the -rX in _rc2-rYYYYMMDD-rX) in the example above. Human parsing of that long a string of digits becomes increasingly difficult, unfortunately, but it should work. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
