CMT Tags
For what concerns the format of tags recognized by CMT, it appears that it is a lot more liberal that what we generally think. Actually, CMT only considers the numbers in the tag names. The only adviceis to avoid dots. The format v[0-9](r[0-9](p[0-9])?)? (expressed as a perl regular expression) is just on possibility. It could also be [0-9]([0-9]([0-9])?)?.
It is up to the collaboration to choose one format or the other. Yet, if CMT only focused on the numbers within the tag names, this could explain the bug where it is checking out GlastPolicy tagged GR-v4r5 when it is asked for v4r5, because the numbers are the same. This must be investigated with tests.
