that means the name is appropriate for use on the server.

To simplify the implementation of VCCP on diverse systems,
names should be sent as text.  If the names for a particular system
are binary hashes, then the NAME table should store them as
the hexadecimal representation.














#### 3.4.1 NAME Table Example 1

Suppose a client is pushing a new check-in to the server and the
check-in text is stored in the DATA.ID=1 row.  Then the request
should contain a NAME table row with NAME.NAMEID=1 (to match the
DATA table ID value) and NAME.NAMETYPE=0 (because client names
have NAMETYPE 0) and with the name of that check-in according to

that means the name is appropriate for use on the server.

To simplify the implementation of VCCP on diverse systems,
names should be sent as text.  If the names for a particular system
are binary hashes, then the NAME table should store them as
the hexadecimal representation.

The NAME table can also be used for error messages in a VCCP
reply message.  If the request contains an error associated with
a particular row in the DATA table, or with a particular NAMEID,
then an error message is added to the NAME table with NAMEID
set to the offending DATA.ID or NAMEID and NAMETYPE set to 2
and with English the error message text in NAME.NAME.  Hence,
the allowed values for NAME.NAMETYPE are:

>
| 0: | Name of the object as known to the client |
| 1: | Name of the object as known to the server |
| 2: | Error message text for the object         |

of the file is the target of the link).  The $.file[].mode may
be blank or omitted for a normal read/write file.  If a file
is being renamed, the $.file[].oldname field may be included
to show the previous name of the file, if that information is
available.

Some version control systems allow tags and properties to be

associated with a check-in.  The $.tag element supports this
feature.  Each element of the $.tag array is a separate tag
or property.  If the $.tag[].propagate field exists and has
a value of "1", then the tag/property propagates to all
non-merge children.  If the $.tag[].delete field exists and
has a value of "1", then a propagating tag or property with 
the given name that was set by some ancestor check-in is
stopped and omitted from this check-in.  Version control
systems that do not support tags and/or properties on check-ins
or that do not support tag propagation can ignore all of these
attributes.

of the file is the target of the link).  The $.file[].mode may
be blank or omitted for a normal read/write file.  If a file
is being renamed, the $.file[].oldname field may be included
to show the previous name of the file, if that information is
available.

Some version control systems allow tags and properties to be
part of the check-in itself rather than a separate entity.  
The $.tag element supports this
feature.  Each element of the $.tag array is a separate tag
or property.  If the $.tag[].propagate field exists and has
a value of "1", then the tag/property propagates to all
non-merge children.  If the $.tag[].delete field exists and
has a value of "1", then a propagating tag or property with 
the given name that was set by some ancestor check-in is
stopped and omitted from this check-in.  Version control
systems that do not support tags and/or properties on check-ins
or that do not support tag propagation can ignore all of these
attributes.

### 3.6 Tag JSON Format

A new tag is created using the following JSON syntax:

>
    {
      "time": DATETIME,    -- Time when the tag was created
      "name": TEXT,        -- Name of the tag
      "from": INT,         -- Check-in being tagged
      "comment": TEXT,     -- Message associated with the tag
      "mimetype": TEXT,    -- Mimetype of the message
      "value": TEXT,       -- Value of the tag if it is really a property
      "delete": 1,         -- Stop propagaging this tag
      "propagate": 1,      -- Propagate this tag to direct children
      "tagger": {          -- Person who created this tag
        "name": TEXT,           -- Name or handle
        "email": TEXT,          -- Email address
        "time": DATETIME        -- Override for $.time
      }
    }

### 3.7 Message Description JSON Format
