Tag names

[Mike Ayers]

	CVS has the (to me, odd) restriction on tags that they may not contain the 
characters `$,.:;@' .  This is puzzling in light of the fact that the most 
common way, both historically and currently, to tag releases is in x.y.z form. 
 I suspect that there is a standard substitution for the dots.  Is there?  If 
so, which char?


        Thanks,
