Tagging snapshots
Every node in the fossil graph can have one or more tags attached to it. Tags can identify releases, branches, or just particular milestones that you may want to refer to. For example, you may want a release-1 branch with tags for release-1.0, release-1.1, and so on. A tag can be used with checkout or merge instead of using the SHA1 identifier.
Tags are implemented with the fossil tag command. Fossil supports several subcommands to add, cancel, find, and list tags.
The fossil tag add command creates a new tag:
$ fossil tag add TagName Identifier
