Your original email said "Moving forward, only LLVM commits will be
identified with the prefix rL (as in https://reviews.llvm.org/rL12345) —
each project will get its own unique prefix, which might surprise some
users or require changes to tools which bake in the rL prefix".

That seems to not be an issue, as long as all commits for all projects are
still reachable under the rL tag, right?
