My one gripe about git is the commit hash tags.  They really are not
very user friendly.  The tags you mention above are all in 4 stable
branch so if you continue to use bzr for the stable 4 branch, you should
not have any issues.  I will tag future stable versions in git when we
get to that point so you will be able to use git tags in the same
manner.  I'm not sure how maintaining a stable branch in git is going to
work.  I'm guessing that it will be a completely separate repo like we
do with bzr but I'm going to worry about that when the time comes.
