Zack,

I patched the README by hand this morning and read the explanation on cg-tag and it 
appears branches, tags and revisions are synonymous, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Is there a way to use time or relative values (HEAD-1) as "revision" parameters, it would 
be nice if its not already there.

Again, thanks for the update adds very useful information!

Wink
