Yes, although I thought Paul was asking for something a bit different.
He thought that he would like to have tags with the same human-readable
names in all repos. Like "tizen-3.0-m1" in each and every repository
involved into the 3.0 M1 release. I think this would be nice to have,
but I am not sure how easy would that be to implement.

Yes, that is sort of what I was wondering about.  I can see that commit ID's 
are immutable where Tags might not be.  As a developer working on and debugging 
code, to be able to see milestones in the repository can be quite useful.

for big milestones  repositories are tagged. So far it was mostly done for real 
big releases (example 2.2_release).
It's not happening at the moment for smaller scale releases like above 
tizen-3.0-m1.


Mainly I was just trying to understand why things work the way they do (why 
else become an engineer?  [cid:[email protected]] )

Re needing to rework the tools-- Can't you use a tag anyplace you might use a 
branch?  If so, the only issue would be setting tags in subordinate 
repositories--that should be pretty easy to do if you're just snapshotting the 
code base; then you can adjust individual tags as needed.  (Just sayin')

tags are something that is done and they stay. so, for many snapshots it would 
be too many tags.

In case of "accepted" branches, it would be moving, but "stable" target.


I also know it's absurdly easy to come along after the fact and ask "Why didn't 
you design it this other way?"  I want to focus on *improving* the process, not 
creating controversy!
