] | In my company we use it to signify that the given revision is special in some way (granted, we use git but mostly the purpose of tagging is the same). We use it for the following:

Example:
You work on your project, committing your changes to trunk. When you release, you make a tag of the trunk just as you're ready and there are no more code changes.
