Yes, that is a problem in general with the conversion tools we have -
they only keep vendor tags but not release tags.

I made no efforts to handle release tags yet, because I did't come up
with a way yet to point to a commit reliably _after_ the conversion -
I have converted most of the repositories I mailed about a couple
times or more.

Adding release tags will (sadly) be a manual task we'll have to do
after the migration, when the repository conversion is final.

The actual tagging will be easy:
    hg tag -r $REVISION -d $DATE -u $COMMITTER $TAG_NAME

The work will be finding the values for $REVISION, $DATE, $COMMITTER,
$TAG_NAME.

If you have any ideas how to automate this, please let me know!

Thanks,
