As a side note, I always wondered why to use date in the release tag of
package, whose sources come from non-cvs versioning system.  For svn, in
my opinion, it would make more sense to use the tree revision number;
for git, similarly, sha1 id of the tree.

Could the guideline [1] wording be adjusted to point packagers towards
those less ambiguous identifiers?  Or maybe the intention of the release
tag is not so much to be truly non-ambiguous about the actual origin of
the sources, as rather to give a rough idea when was the commit done?
