Thanks everyone for their answers! Actually, I did read the manual [1]
and I came across the "tag" command but not knowing much about monotone
internals I couldn't conclude that this would really do what I expected.
One problem is that the documentation for "mtn tag" only says that this
command is a synonym for |mtn cert |id| tag |tagname" and the
documentation for mtn cert says "These commands create a new certificate
with name certname, for a revision with version id. If certval is
provided, it is the value of the certificate. Otherwise the certificate
value is read from |stdin|.". While this may be correct in the technical
sense, I'm not sure it contributes to the understanding of the user ;)
