Published staging repos like kubernetes/api, etc have tags like kubernetes-1.13.1 which correspond to the v1.13.1 tag in kubernetes/kubernetes. Due to the kubernetes- prefix, tools like dep don't pick up the new version.

We could start using semantic versioning for tags in published repos as well. One way to do that (as pointed by @sttts on slack) is to have the tags as 13.0.1. This is also a faithful representation of our compatibility guarantees.

This would require a change to the publishing-bot.
