This is so that all the files in the Date repo get tagged, basically saying "This is what the files looked like when I did X release", allows for easy checkouts if you ever feel the urge to get exactly the files you released 20 years ago ;-) Plus it makes it a whole lot easier for an outside dev, me for example and see "Ahh that's what the file looked like 2 releases ago" instead of having to download the package and looking at the CVS id within each file of that particular release. Hope you understand where I was going with this (= Regards and good luck. Helgi
