patch naming scheme.

For a while, diffs in the Fedora kernel have followed the form
linux-2.6-*.patch
Then, we started seeing some git snapshots show up as
git-*.diff
and lately, everything seems to have gone bananas, with no
particular scheme at all..
nvidia-agp.patch, percpu_counter_sum_cleanup.patch, xfs-barrier-fix.patch
etc etc.
Maybe I'm being overly anal. The linux-2.6- prefix is kind of pointless
(given that duh, they're all going to be against Linux 2.6), but it
does group things nicely in an ls output if nothing else.
So, what are peoples thoughts on this?
