Sadly, "tags" need a network to resolve them and hence using them means
the metadata doesn't work standalone. We can't do that.

However, I thought we'd added functionality where it would list the
tags, figure out which ones contained a revision and then figured out
if there was a more recent version?

We do have various components that haven't released for a long time and
I have wondered if we should do that, then we'd have tarballs and
revisions to make things easier.

Cheers,

Richard
