I like consistency as much as anybody, but in this case, why make 20 years of developers suffer? On all of my projects that I switched to git, I INSTANTLY got rid of the silly CVS restriction of having - and .s in tags with no reservations whatsoever. I use git tag -n with a small enough number that keeps me from seeing the hideous old tags.
