As many have already mentioned, this is exactly what configs were
designed for. Just in case that you end up not liking configs, revisit
the tag branches concept. Though you mention that you already have the
concept of "tag branches," that sounds exactly like what you want. 

Make a releases branch, and every time you want to release a version, do
the following: 

tla archive-setup software--releases--(releaseversion)
tla tag software--dev--0 software--releases--(releaseversion)
