bzr supports a classic definition of tags--identifying a specific
revision. If it's of interest or help, I include the help text for
the "tag" command at the end of my message.
(The way we accomplish tagging in svn is by bringing our own semantics
to certain names, of course. svn doesn't help us do that inherently,
it's just convention. Because that's essentially a feature of being
able to name stuff, you can do similar tricks with bzr--I'd make a
branch for a tag if we were were following that pattern.)
Gary
$ bzr help tag
Purpose: Create, remove or modify a tag naming a revision.
Usage: bzr tag TAG_NAME
Options:
--force Replace existing tags.
-v, --verbose Display more information.
-h, --help Show help message.
-q, --quiet Only display errors and warnings.
-d ARG, --directory=ARG
Branch in which to place the tag.
--usage Show usage message and options.
-r ARG, --revision=ARG
See "help revisionspec" for details.
--delete Delete this tag rather than placing it.
Description:
Tags give human-meaningful names to revisions. Commands that take
a -r
(--revision) option can be given -rtag:X, where X is any previously
created tag.
Tags are stored in the branch. Tags are copied from one branch to
another
along when you branch, push, pull or merge.
It is an error to give a tag name that already exists unless you pass
--force, in which case the tag is moved to point to the new revision.
To rename a tag (change the name but keep it on the same revsion),
run ``bzr
tag new-name -r tag:old-name`` and then ``bzr tag --delete oldname``.
