It doesn't make much sense to put both date and svn revision into the 
tag. Use one or the other. For CVS, the date is the only option of 
course. Most of the svn snapshots packages we have right now only use 
the revision number, which in the case of svn is more accurate than the 
snapshot date.

Mabye the FPC can revisit this if the wiki page is confusing...
