Another way of addressing this is to branching. Instead of having a label hold
what constitutes a release, the tips of a branch can.

Jeff,
Nice presentation.
I was interested to see that you're using labels to mark special "cuts" of code - for releases, etc.
I was keen to do that myself - recovering a version with get @label looks really good - but, as labels can be re-sync'd later, I'm not sure they're safe enough.
I sure that sooner of later, someone will accidentally re-sync a useful label like "CUSTOMER_RELEASE_1" to the current state of his client. Someone always does and, IMO, that puts archive at risk.
So, we're using change numbers and comments in the change spec. It's not pretty, but it's safe.
(If anyone knows how to make labels "safe" please let me know!)
Paul.
