[Monotone-devel] movable monotone tags

[Stanislav Karchebny]

In recent talk with msh on irc i proposed some solution to movable tags:

1) Use case: we have a development model where tree is tagged prior to 
building so that buildscript can fetch the appropriate sources given only 
software version number (e.g. build 1.2.3 makes buildscript fetch tag ver-123 
and so on). Sometimes builds fail and we fix the source and re-tag a new 
version with the same tag (since its going to be the same version anyway).

2) Proposal: version tags similar to how we version the files themselves.
So a tag on revision X can be moved to revision Y specifying that its ancestor 
revision was X. Then different tag moves in different trees can be tracked 
and resolved using pretty much the same merge conflicts resolution.

Any ideas?
