This is clearly not the intended use for tags. But I don't suppose > the few people in favor of the tags have changed their mind about it yet? :) I really, really, really hope we can move away from this crutch once most developers have gotten used to using Git. We will need to start learning to use the SHA1 hashes when referring to particular Haiku revisions. These tags will never be as convenient as the old SVN revision numbers. Using a Haiku revision string in AboutSystem which includes the date and SHA1 hash of the commit the system was built from can serve the same purpose as SVN revision numbers (and is better since the date can be read directly.) I also think we should start tagging known stable commits with a real version number (0.1.1.8 or whatever) which also shows up in AboutSystem and do the "alpha release preparation" type tasks more often. -- Regards, Ryan
