Yeah, I understand that not all naming schemes will map well into the
Arch namespace.  If I were trying to do so for ion, I might use
something like "ion--v2--0" for the version; specific releases within
that version could be labeled with a symbolic tag branch, described
here:

You don't need to type the "--0" most of the time either; you can
$ tla get ion--v2
and it will grab the latest revision of the highest version number (in
this case 0).
