For my 2c, I'd kind of prefer v10, but I could live with 10.x.
Not sure that I have any real reason for that preference other than
'v10' is slightly shorter and seems more 'right', to me. Perhaps
because '10.x' implies a *released* version to me (10.1, 10.2, 10.3),
whereas you asked about a *branch*, which would generally include some
patches past the latest point release.
In other words, "are you going to back-patch this to 10.x?" doesn't seem
quite right, whereas "are you going to back-patch this to v10?" lines up
correctly in my head, but I don't hold that distinction very closely and
either would work.
Thanks!
