AFAICT Tags are not timestamped and the tag name is only associated with a
single revision of the file. Moreover a tag can be moved from one revision
to another at any given time (without versioning). So there is no way to
look through a repository and determine *when* a certain tag was set on
files. The only way I can figure this out is if you have a taginfo script in
the server that monitors the tag calls and separately maintains a log of
these. If you do this you can easily get both timestamps and usernames. But
also consider that tags are kept in individual files so the log will be
substantial...
