Comment (by rhaas):

 Franks argument about multiple releases per day is unfortunately a strong
 one against my suggestion of using dates as tags I think. We do have (or
 used to have) release tags in the repositories. If we want to use the same
 tag in releases tarball as in the VCSs then we have to re-tag every module
 when we update the release, even if that module did not change (think eg.
 we update a simfactory optionlist and then have to re-tag Kranc).

 The alternative would be to include a fingerprint file in the tarball, eg
 subversion revision number and git/hg hashes for the included versions.
