Understandably, as Haiku is the *only* project tagging each and every changeset. 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 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.

+1. I still like the git describe version format I commented on a few months ago:

$ git describe --abbrev=6
6.14.1-8-g903e90

that is versiontag-hash with a shortened hash. It directs you to the code in reference to:
 * the last major version
 * the revision

they are in order by version, and gives you the commit.

Using the odd revision numbers tags on every commit seems like trying to make
a DVCS something it isn't =\

 Thanks!
