Hi everyone,
  I'm new to arch but I must say that I really like it.  It's really well
designed and it do the things how they must be done.

I just finished reading the tutorial and most of the wiki but I still
can't find what the version field stand for.

I looked here:

  http://arch.quackerhead.com/~lord/archives/

and it's 1.0 everywhere.  

I currently use CVS for my pet project, OBB, our last release is
0.7.1.  Now lets suppose that I migrate OBB, 0.7.1 from CVS to arch.
Should I put it in

  obb--main--0.9 

since we plan that the next release will be 0.9 ?  Yes, it's a bit weird
to skip 0.8 but we won't make any stable release before 1.0.

And then after 0.9 is released, make 

  obb--main--0.11--base-0 

a tag on 

  obb--main--0.9--final-0

?

Oh how do you give names, like "0.9-alpha-3", to branches in a tag
branch ?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

 : )
