That's what all the fun is about ;-) Some would say that "labelling" the
file is the job of the release processes. Others say it's the job of
the SCM system...
Of course I just sit on the fence because in the work I have to do, I'm
quite happy that nothing is "outside of a checkout". GIT is good enough
that I have it everywhere. I realise not everyone's that lucky..
