Craig, when I asked about changing tags format to "X.Y.Z", I didn't mean changing existing tags.
I believe changing something (like commits or tags) in a public repository is a terrible idea.
At least this change has made sources unfetchable for current ports.

Would you please rename them back (just commits previously tagged as "vX_Y_Z")?
Or maybe if you like you can use both tags "vX_Y_Z" and "X.Y.Z" for each of those commits.

Of course, "X.Y.Z" format for new releases is fine.
