Hi Russ,
Hmm, I never tested it, but I would have assumed that the
existing {v} specifier would have done this, and if not
that it should be fixed to do so. Or am I confused?

If I understand you correctly, {t} does what you want.
You can't commit to a tag that is a revision, only to
a tag that is a branch.
