Scenario:
1. mkdir test
2. cd test
3. darcs init
4. touch file
5. darcs add file
6. darcs record...
7. darcs tag v1.10
8. more changes and records
9. darcs tag v1.10
10. darcs list tags

Problem:
Here as the user I wanted to tag the initial version as v1.00 but tagged it as v1.10 by mistake.
Now after a month of development I tagged the current version as v1.10 introducing a duplicate by 
accident.
My client reports a bug from the previous version and I need to go back in time to see the exact 
changes that were distributed.
As a new user it's not obvious to me how to go back to the initial tag v1.10.

Workarounds:
1. darcs changes --xml
2. Find the hash identifier of the first tag
3. --match 'hash XXX' to pick out the tag
4. see the actual changes

Expected:
I expect such information to be provided in the documentation of the software.
An easier way/more obvious way to find the hash and go back in time would be preferred.
