git uses "~" for referencing commits relative to a commit identifier, see: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rev-parse#Documentation/git-rev-parse.txt-emltrevgtltngtemegemHEADmaster3em Hence they do not allow it in tag names, to avoid the ambiguity. I guess RPM is the outlier for using ~ the way it uses it, I don't think much other software does that. Upstream software should hence probably stick to how the majority does it, not necessarily just how RPM likes it, unless the software is clearly focussed on the RPM world only.
