BTW, why does the GCC snapshot process bother to tag the repository?

Other projects identify their snaps with ``YYYYMMDD'' and that, somewhat 
suprisingly, indicates that it was checked out using ``-D 
YYYY-MM-DD-gmt'' :-)  No tag required.

Constant re-taging is also CVSup unfriendly.  It goes into ``slow mode'' 
whenever a new tag is introduced on an otherwize unchanged file.
