We tag each release. We follow "release early, release often".

Hm, can you clarify? The tags are physically stored in one long text file: `.git/packed-refs`. So for us, that file does contain several tens of thousands of lines, but I'm not sure that would be a performance problem, seeing that it's just reading a file with a few tens of thousands of lines, which shouldn't tax modern hardway. > Is this a private Gitorious installation?
