Why are there no release-tags in the repository?

[Matthias Beyer]

Basically what the Subject says.

Having release-tags in the repository would make several things a lot
easier:

* packaging a specific version (from the repository, not pypi)
* Debugging issues (as in "I'm using 2.0b11 and have issue Foobar,
which patch do I have to apply to fix it?")
* `git bisect`ing issues ("I can bisect from v2.0b11..HEAD")

Or is there any reason why we do not have tags in the repository?

I'm just not doing it yet, it hasn't been necessary due to the presence of a very large number of unit tests. The main branch is stable.

For packaging, you can use the revision number.

For debugging, report on the head. We don't have patches.

There hasn't been many issues that require bisecting (I have so many unit tests problems are usually very easy to find).

I'll do versions at some point soon for people who want ease in deployment - one other user asked for this - and frankly, mainly because people are used to them. I had planned to start doing revisions once that average cost booking is there, which is the point at which I think Beancount is "complete" to the ideals I set when I began to rewrite it.

Thank you Martin!

Maybe you remember me - I asked about converting skrooge exports to
beancount some time ago.

I failed doing so, still I will switch to beancount on Oct. 1st -
keeping the other data as historical and maybe I will be able to
convert the data some day and add it to my beancount setup then.
Shouldn't be to complicated, right?

So, I will switch to beancount, finally! I packaged it for NixOS and
I'm currently packaging bean-add and fava for it, both WIP.

Thank you and the whole community for the beancount and related tools!
