The tag download feature is nice. I am wondering if it is reasonable
to make it a bit friendlier. It now archives the "exported" dta
(without git structures), with a sha in the name.

First question about filenames. Since we download a tag data, is it
reasonable to name it with a tag, not sha, in the name (with some
reasonable conversion rules)? For example, we use "YYMMDDseq" for tags
- and many people use something reasonable as well. May fall back to
SHA, if tag is not convertable to a reasonable string.

Second, the software has no knowledge after build from the tag
archive, which version it is - and our operations beg for that. Can it
be automated? For example, if we can configure something like
http://didenko.com/files/github/090420_prepackage.html per repository,
and have it used with each tag download (or just a format string to be
configured), then build process may take advantage of that data.

Thank you for consideration.
Vlad
