Yes, I mindlessly followed Rene in using _ instead of ~ in git tags, never
wondering why. _ has the advantage over ~ to be sorted in front of lowercase
ASCII, so for as long as "subversions" start with some lowercase letters,
standard ASCII sorting 'does the Right Thing'. But I bet Rene can elaborate
better on that than me ;)
