Agreed. By then the upstream could disappear, migrate to whatever hip
vc system there is in five years, etc.
The problem with svn is that the breakage is insidious, since the same
release numbers will be reused in the new tree without any special
warning. So explicit date is needed to disambiguate svn versions.
I'm not sure if dates work if you've merged repositories with dump/load
or converted cvs projects and loaded them separately. Explicit tags
should be reliable, though, if you tag everything that is released.
