[Anthill] Customizing Tag Name

[Misura, Gabe]

Ben,

My version file contents looks like this:
prod.1.1.8
And my tags show up as prod_1_1_8 in CVS.
So there's not need to have v in the front.

BTW, I'm using that com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.UrbanCodeVersionAdapter

I've never branched so I can't help you there.

Gabriel,

First off, thanks for the response.

I have my version number all sorted out. The problem is that anthill 
currently appends a 'v' onto the front of the version number to create the 
tag name. I don't want the 'v' (we have an in-house policy on CVS tag 
names). Secondly, the version file has additional constraints when building 
off of a branch. Namely, the branch name must be included in the version 
string.

I realize that I could write my own version adapter to solve the version 
name problem with the branch, but do I have to write my own repository 
adapter to change the tag name policy?

Thanks,
Ben
