Annotated Tags Please

[emontellese]

Suggestion / Request to use annotated tags for version tag numbers.

This is considered "best practice" by a number of open source projects and annotated tags have a number of advantages for official releases.

For our purposes, it will simplify the way that we use 'git describe' to collect information about packages that are a part of our build. By default, git describe ignores "lightweight tags"

Many thanks!
