	Note that knowing all the tag names mat not help.  You need to know 
whatever tagging system is in use in the project you are working on, 
and that tagging system needs to include a procedure for tagging the 
latest stable release.  If both of these are true, only then can you 
use the previously mentioned commands to scan the tags and find your 
latest stable release.
