If nothing else it creates a nice symmetry, since CVS can't use '.' in 
tags (which only is the most common character in nearly all versioning 
schemes), and which is commonly replaced by '_'.  We already have the -m 
option to change that back to dots, so we'd go:

'/' -> '_' -> '.'

... which at least means no info loss.
