Curious, do you no longer have a reference to the module at the time the build
was done? While a cvs tag is convenient to tell the buildsystem what bits to
pull, a named tag in general is convenient for humans to easily get the
content at that point in time too.
For subversion, a path plus a revision number would be sufficient. Tags
in subversion are really just a convention. Unless you put some code
into a pre-commit hook to prohibit it, tags can be modified just like
any other directory in subversion. Unfortunately the same can be said
of CVS tags.
