it was not plague that needed it, using tags was the only way to
cjeckout the intended output, they had the problem that they were not
immutable, if you made a typo you forced in a new tag so you did not
need to bump the nvr

koji stores the git hash for all builds, writing a script to get the
hash for a given nvr would be trivial. it just means you have to be
online to retrieve the data than being able to get the date while
disconnected, if it was stored in git.
