bzr tag -r400 FOO        # Create a tag FOO which points to revision 400

Since this will allow me to set a property on a "old" revision. My
question is if we can think about doing this in a generic way, to
allow us to add notes/annotations to a revision.  What I could see as
something very useful is

bzr note -r2 -m 'this revision introduced bug #423'
bzr tag -r2 'test-tag'

Which would then show up in bzr log
$ bzr log -r2

message:

note:
  this revision introduced bug #423


And you should then be able to do
bzr log --notes, which would only show revisions with notes.
bzr log --tags, which would only show revisions with tags,

etc.

What do you think.
