Change branch and tag names again?

[andrew_peterson]

We recently set it up such that the branch holding v0.4 is called "v0.4-branch" and the releases are tagged as "v0.4", "v0.4.1", etc., to avoid naming conflicts on git.

However, this makes our readthedocs page kind of ugly, as one now chooses between "latest" and "v0.4-branch". (The name branch is strange there.) I can't see a way to manually change the name to be something different than the branch name in readthedocs.

So, we may want to change the naming system again so that "v0.4" is the name of the branch, and "v0.4-release" and "v0.4.1-release" is the name of the tag?

No rush on this.

is there any update round this post? I need to rename a tag on bitbcket. (even remove a tag)

Are you sure this comment is related to our project Amp? There shouldn't be any reason this affects anyone other than the developers.

Actually, readthedocs (now?) supports having a version point to a tag or a branch. I just tried and I have it set to our "v0.4.1" tag, and it looks good.

We still have the issue that we can't have a branch and tag have the same name. What I am going to do is call the branch "v0.5" and tag the releases as "0.5", "0.5.1", etc. That is, the branch will have the "v" at the beginning, the tags will not.

We have a scheme we are following; it is documented on the Development page.
