So when I take a snapshot of revision 123 of a svn repository with the
current revision 151 and the commit of revision 123 was a week ago, then
the alphatag has to be:
20070413svn123?
Imho it would make more sence to use the date of the commit of the
revision.
Also with respect to git/hg, it would make the checkout better identifiable
when one would use:
20070413gitABCDEF
with ABCDEF beeing the last six (or any other number of) characters of the
sha1 hash of the revision.
But the date of the checkin to who's branch, or is it the date of the checkin
to the local person's clone, or the date after the clone was merged into the
master repo or... I really think that Date here is arbitrary and half
thought out. See my other post regarding a draft.
