Are Git tag names of CD releases customizable?

[Ullrich Hafner]

After switching to CD for my plugins I noticed that the tags in Git use a different format now. Is there a way to customize this format?

E.g. before I had vX.Y.Z. Now I get X.Y.Z. Is there a way to add the missing prefix `v`? Otherwise sorting of existing and new tags becomes cumbersome.

Hi

cat .mvn/maven.config

.mvn/maven.config:-Dchangelist.format=%d.v%s

Not sure but maybe:

.mvn/maven.config:-Dchangelist.format=v%d.v%s

Thanks! I tried it, but unfortunately it does not work. This produces tags of the format 

X.Y.Z-v[commits].v[hash]

It seems that the prefix is hard-coded right now:

++ mvn -B -ntp -Dset.changelist -Dexpression=project.version -q -DforceStdout help:evaluate

+ version=3.7.1-v587.vf524b_8edb_a_e2

+ gh api -F tag=3.7.1-v587.vf524b_8edb_a_e2 -F message=3.7.1-v587.vf524b_8edb_a_e2 -F object=f524b8edbae2d91f396f7201d01e254170475f4b -F type=commit /repos/jenkinsci/jquery3-api-plugin/git/tags

+ gh api -F ref=refs/tags/3.7.1-v587.vf524b_8edb_a_e2 -F sha=f524b8edbae2d91f396f7201d01e254170475f4b /repos/jenkinsci/jquery3-api-plugin/git/refs

Sorry, no. The tag is identical to the plugin version number.
