Tag and version convention

[l0kod]

There is currently Git tags prefixes "release-" (old ones I guess) and "0.".
It would probably be more readable to switch to a "v" (or "rust-") prefix for version tags (like for the Linux repository). This way, it's easier to filter version tags (e.g. with "git tag -l v*"). It's especially useful when there is other tags than for version (e.g. local tags).

@l0kod the current versioning scheme is x.y.z, sometimes suffixed by -alpha or -beta.

Annoyingly, git tag -l uses fnmatch (aka shell globbing) rather than full regex, so the current most concise way to list only the version number tags (no alphas, betas, old release- tags, or local descriptive tags) seems to be git tag -l | grep -v [a-zA-Z]

Do you think that the versioning scheme enstated by the release channels RFC is sufficient to resolve this issue?
