I'd like to use dots rather than underscores to make it look exactly  
like the version number we publish (at least for tags). That should  
make it slightly easier to link the tags to the releases.

I thought about this again: I'm pretty certain that there will be no  
need to contact somebody concerning commits that happened years ago in  
the Kolab 1 phase. So it makes more sense to use any old address  
rather than trying to search the web for the current address that  
might be inaccurate, too.

Definitely better than no address, yes.

Absolutely fine with me. I was just asking in case someone already  
knew there might be problems associated with this (whether on the side  
of mercurial or in combination with any kind of important system  
working together with the mercurial repository.

Thanks for your feedback!

Cheers,
