Rename tag [tortoise-svn] to [tortoisesvn] to be consistent with other stack* sites

Question

I world like to propose tha the tag tortoise-svn is renamed to tortoisesvn, because that is the tag that is used on stackowerflow.

That makes the cross site feature tagging better.

Why rename, why not just create a synonym to link tortoisesvn to tortoise-svn? Once linked by a synonym, I understand that the end result is the same, and personally I find the hyphenated versions more pleasing on the eye.
I haven't seen tag synonyms before. After quickly searching around, i think synonyms is a god solution.

	After reading about tag synonyms, I think that synonyms are the best solution. – BennyBechDk Jan 25 '11 at 12:54
	I don't know if tag synonyms are cross site, but if not, i think it should be considered. After thinking about it a bit more, Cross site tags, can give som problems, especially for 3 letter acronyms (eg, ASP = Aplication Service Provider or (.ASP files (pre ASP.NET)) – BennyBechDk Jan 25 '11 at 13:00
