Thanks it's not for my benefit, it's for the engineers that might not know better and blindly follow something you say because of your standing in this community. Cargo-culting is not a good habit to encourage in software engineering.

FWIW dates in tags are redundant because the tag itself has a time stamp. Re: environment names in tags, IMO they don't belong in the repo.

Thanks for replying.

Having them in the tagname makes it much easier and more visible.

Times are in the git log. Same as the commit message/tag name/etc.

It's still much easier to scroll down a list of tags and find the right one by date than to look through the git log and look at both a tag name and timestamp.

Personally I find git log easier to handle than an enormous list of tags.
