Hmmm. I thought a tag with a _message_ was not lightweight.

$ git tag -ln
=2E..
olpc-update-2.16 Release 2.16
olpc-update-2.17 Release 2.17.
olpc-update-2.18 Rlease 2.18.
olpc-update-2.19 Release 2.19.

Argh... I see now - git tag is being helpful and showing the first
line of the commit msg instead of the tag msg, so I thought they were
full tags.

DWIM bites again! ;-(

Right. Doesn't make a difference with 1.6.0.6 but it does with
1.6.3.1.26.gf5b223
