Indeed, tags are your friend. If you ever need to go back and branch an
older revision, tags let you do that. So if customer X, who uses v 0.12
requires some new functionality, and for whatever reason an upgrade to v
0.18 would break things, you can simply develop on that -r 0.12 tag as
(I think) 0.12.1 etc with no troubles at all.

But of course best to use that time machine and develop from the
beginning in CVS. ;)

Cheers,

Jens
