For official releases we can tag the cvs by hand. Let's assume this
scenario. A tester reports: 'This worked in weekly build 156 but is
broken in a later build.' A tag of the weekly build would be very
helpful. The tags between to releases could be too long timeframe.

A build of a different tag is not much required. A developer needs a
way to get a diff between two tags.(The one that worked and the one
where something is broken.) I use this a lot.
