So, what's the recommended branch and tag naming scheme going forward?
For cairo, fontconfig, pango, etc we've been using the release number as 
branch name and tag name.  That is, "1.24.0" is a tag name, "1.24" is the 
branch name.

Do we want to move to this simpler scheme, or stay with CVS-style PANGO_1_24_0 
vs pango-1-24?
