Yes, its not that smart and could use a different name and maybe a
prefix.

However the fact that a Tags creates a new revision is a pain for me and
requires more steps i shouldn't forget in the release process.

I don't want to have to care about having to update to a specific tagged
version again to get the propper id (after all hg is the only dvcs where
i have to deal with that).

All i want have to do for a release is
1. make a tag
2. invoke a simple script

And i want to keep that script as simple as possible, cause it will be
copyed beween projects.
