You can get back at any particular changeset after that by checking
the commit messages, for instance with an hgrc containing

        [extensions]
        pager=
        [pager]
        pager=view -
        attend=annotate, cat, diff, export, glog, log, manifest, qdiff

so "hg log" (among others) will display its output in a Vim pager.

Yeah, but the point of having tags in the first place is to avoid having
to scan commit messages to arrive at an easily-named changeset.

Sure. I can't read Bram's mind; maybe he thought adding the tag on every patchlevel was an unnecessary hassle? or maybe he didn't want to delve into the subtilities of the hg tag command? or maybe he thought only the latest changeset on either the stable or the development branch would ever be worth reaching? Maybe something else? Maybe some combination of all of the above?

If it works for you, then do it (after all, if git is the versioning
software preferred by Linus Torvalds it must not be /too/ bad). I
never used another versioning system before,

Neither CVS nor SVN?

Nothing.

Of course, compared with Vim's, any other software documentation looks
awfully spotty and incomplete,

Hear, hear.

:-D
