Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.20
Severity: normal
If you try to tag a package that uses an epoch number, hg will simply
fail tagging because there it doesn't support the : character in tag
names. Like so:
[r:4 b:default s:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:openssh > hg tag 1:1
abort: ':' cannot be used in a tag name
Replacing the : character with another one works. In the attached
patch, I replace : by _ before tagging.
