The latest tag should be the one with the biggest revision
number. So, for the following output:
symbolic names:
arbitrary-tag: 1.1.4.1
before-purify-fixes: 1.1.4.2
bug-351: 1.1.0.4
ok-to-checkin: 1.1.1.2
rel-2_3: 1.1.0.2
recover-2_4: 1.1.1.2
recover-2_3: 1.1.1.1
stephen: 1.1.1
The latest tag on the bug-351 branch is before-purify-fixes.
The bug-351 branch is 1.1.0.4 so all files on this branch will
start with 1.1.4. Therefore, the tags arbitrary-tag and
before-purify-fixes are both on this branch. Since 1.1.4.2 is
greater than 1.1.4.1 it is the later tag.
