Branches can be named whatever we'd like. My own preference would be to call this: /branches/3.4.xThe "OOO" is awfully redundant, and the last digit ("0") doesn't make sense since we would be releasing patches from the branch such as 3.4.1. The "3.4.x" naming is used by many products, and it has worked out very well.
it wouldn't be a surprise to me if the reason for the "OOO340" name would be that it has to be exactly 3 letters followed by exactly 3 digits, or otherwise some tooling breaks.
for example, the 2.4.x CVS release branch was called OOH680 (what the heck does that mean?)
indeed, why not "3.4.x" -- Q: How many Prolog programmers to change a lightbulb? A: no.
