Because we want a well-known fixed point X at which we can say
"If you need to see the history of changes before X, go to the
apache-1.3 repository."  The set of files tagged APACHE_1_3_6
need to be identical in the two repositories.  We could do it
for APACHE_1_3_7 instead, but that would require someone doing a
new release instead of working on the new repository.

The only well-known fixed points we have are releases.  Dates and other
symbolic names are usable within CVS, but hard to remember when coding
and talking to users.
