Was this change in naming pattern intentional?

Yes, it was. Andrew Dunstan suggested[1]/messages/by-id/57364C11.4040004@dunslane.net during the
two-part-version-number discussion that we should start including a "_"
after REL in tag and branch names for v10 and later, so that those names
would sort correctly compared to the tag/branch names for earlier branches
(at least when using C locale). I believe his main concern was some logic
in the buildfarm, but it seems like a good idea in general.

When we get to v100, we'll need some other hack to make it work ...
but I plan to be safely dead by then.

BTW, I now remember having wondered[2]/messages/by-id/20780.1463176901@sss.pgh.pa.us if we should make any other changes
in version-number formatting while we're at it, like maybe "10beta1"
should be "10.beta1". It's a bit late to have remembered it for beta1,
but is anyone hot to change anything else about these labels?

regards, tom lane

Me too. Since posterity will be deprived of both of us let's note that
the same hack will work, we'll just need two underscores.

That's not a naming format I've ever seen.

I think the current format is fine.

+1. I have also never seen that one, and think the current one is good.

That cure sounds worse than the disease, but I guess we can leave the
decision to posterity.
