We also tag out bosh-openstack-cpi and bosh with a 'v' prefix. Here's what the github "draft a new release page" has to say about this

I agree with Eric's view that this helps to distinguish git tags which are meant to be final releases from the ones that are just "tags that mean something else".

The v prefix works nicely with concourse git-resource tag_filter.
