Tagging policy

Tags are in the format:

{purpose}-yyyy-mm-dd.nn

For deployment purposes, for example, we use:

deploy-2012-09-24.01

If an additional tag is needed on the same date, increase the tag number, eg.

deploy-2012-09-24.02

(if you have created 99 tags on the same date and need more, you are required to stop and only continue the next day once you have had a chance to get some rest and reflect on what is going on...)

To tag the current branch, use the command:

git tag -a <tagname> -m <tag description>
git push origin <tagname>                  # pushes the tag to repository
