I think the advantage of the requirement of the branch TAG is
that commit messages now always identify themselves where
they're comming from right within the subject.
Commit messages until the change from Sascha were always
named "[PHP-CVS] cvs: php4" though it was php5 really.
Now they all look like "[PHP-CVS] cvs: php-src(PHP_5)" which
imho is easier to identify were a single commit is comming
from.
This helps a lot if at a later stage you browser through
commit mails; you don't need to keep track which version HEAD
was at a given time; you simply read it in the subject.
