Well, I guess you could implement Jochen's suggestion by having "make
build" create the immutable tag, but I kind of wonder as to the point
of tagging without building.  The only thing I can think of is that
you want to tag and then have someone else take a look at the package
before you build, but in that case I don't understand why they
wouldn't just checkout the head anyway.
