Hey,
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/tags/pd/
I just added tags for 0.41.0 thru 0.41.2. Those tags for 'pd' are a bit of a mess, so I would like to propose cleaning them up. First, I think we can ditch the 'pd-' prefix since they are already in a folder called 'pd'. Second, I think we should use the very standard '.' as the separator between numbers. Third, for test releases, we can use the dash, so that they sort before released version. So something like this:
pure-data/tags/pd/0.40-test1 pure-data/tags/pd/0.40-test5 pure-data/tags/pd/0.40.0 pure-data/tags/pd/0.40.1 pure-data/tags/pd/0.40.2 pure-data/tags/pd/0.40.3 pure-data/tags/pd/0.41-test5 pure-data/tags/pd/0.41.0 pure-data/tags/pd/0.41.1 pure-data/tags/pd/0.41.2
- I think we should probably also clean up the "pd-0.39-3", "pd-0.39-3-again", "pd-0.39-3-oncemore", , "pd-0.39-3-really" to be just the right 0.39.3.
- do we need the test versions listed in the tags? There are only a couple existing anyway.

hmm, miller's versioning scheme has been consistent since (i think at least) pd-0.34-0 so i don't see a reason to change branch-names to just another standard just because we can. instead i think branch/tag-names of Pd should follow the versioning scheme of Pd as closely as possible.

hmm, i don't know why these branches are named like that. one could argue that the person who created them did so on purpose (though probably not)

again, as these branches had been created, why should we not need them?

Pd is the only software that I have ever seen that uses "-" to separate the minor version. Not only that, but the "-" is a very common separator used to add a package version to packages (like Debian, etc.). Pd's "-" causes problems there. I see no advantages to keeping the "0.39-3" format.
You guys could use feet, inches, pounds and pints since you are working with Americans, but I think you'd rather use what the rest of the world uses: meters, grams, and liters.

"0.39.3" is not defined by the tag. The tag is instead marking the code that represents 0.39.3. If you read the commit comments, those tags are because there were problems. Therefore "0.39.3" should be

I am fine with leaving these if someone wants them.

And unitedstatesians should think of all the benefits of switching to metric units:
1. you are much taller in centimetres than in inches.
2. you weigh much less in kilogrammes than in pounds.
3. gasoline costs less per litre than per gallon.
this should be enough to convince most of them.
