bitkeeper question

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place
to ask.  I'm wondering about how (and if) tags
are being used for the bk://ppc.bkserver.net/linuxppc_2_4_devel
tree.

I would like to be able to clone and
export a "known" state (lets call it "state_1")
of the tree, then later be able to get another
known state of the tree ("state_2") and have
(or be able to generate) a patch that can take
me from "state_1" to "state_2".

I guess I can do this by doing

bk export -r state_1 state_1

then, later after some "bk pulls" have been done,

bk export -r state_2 state_2

provided that "state_1" and "state_2" are
the two tags.

But, i don't know what the tags are that people
are using, if any.  Or am I grossly misunderstanding
bitkeeper?  Is it up to me to tag my own clone of
the repository whenever I want, and just use "bk pull"
to get "the latest stuff", whatever that might be?
If there is a regular tagging scheme already in use,
I think I'd rather just use those existing tags, as
long as I can stay reasonably up to date that way.

Thanks for any info.

The only tags on that repository are the kernel.org tags.  IE:
bk export -rv2.4.18
Will get you kernel.org as of 2.4.18.   If you do some looking w/ bk
changes, you can see when that was merged into the repository, and
export that changeset.
