You can specify a version, not just a revision.  The documentation is 
out-of-date.

So you can do this:
$ tla tag $(tla tree-version) $targetversion

This will work as long as you want to tag from the latest revision of 
the tree version.

(aba tag-this does this, but uses the current tree *revision*, even if 
that's not the latest revision in the version)
