No, but you can tag based solely on the date of the commit.  So he could 
tag twice and then use those to get the information he wanted.  Silly, I 
know, but if you'd like to fix it and submit the patch, I'll check it in.

It'd be nice to see every -r capable of accepting the tag:date format 
too, but that's another issue entirely.
