Description
Describe the request
Record the Git hash of the release's tag in the libraries index.
🙂 It will be possible to conclusively ascertain which point in a library's Git revision history corresponds to a release in the index.
Describe the current behavior
The only versioning information available about a library release is the version number.
It is a common problem for library maintainers to forget to update the value of the version property in the library metadata before pushing a Git tag.
Significant effort is made in the libraries-repository-engine codebase to process Git tags in ascending chronological order, but this is not guaranteed.
Library maintainers sometimes later move published tags, or delete tags.
🙁 There may be ambiguity regarding exactly which point in a library's Git revision history corresponds to a release in the index.
