## Versions
Versions of cloned packages via git or mercurial are determined through
the repo's *tags*.
When installing a package which needs to be downloaded, after the
download is complete and if the package is distributed through a VCS, babel
will check the cloned repo's tags list. If no tags exist, babel will simply
install the HEAD (or tip in mercurial) of the repo. If tags exist, babel will
attempt to look for tags which resemble versions (e.g. v0.1) and will then
find the latest version out of the available tags, once it does so it will install
the package after checking out the latest version.
