Description

Back in the days when this plugin was written and all ASF Maven-based projects used the ASF Subversion repo, the common practice was to have one trunk/branches/tags for all component groups instead of the common sense to have one dir per project with distinct trunk/branches/tags. This resulted that the ASF diverged from the common practice and basically imposed {project.artifactId}-{project.version} tag format to the entire Java world. With the emerge of Git one can have one project per repo where this approach was pointless anyway.

Proposal: since this is an overhauled practice, it is neither fruitful for Subversion, Git or Mercurial and a prefix which is appended to every tag is redudant, replace this format with the version only like many others do now.
