Pretty much anywhere you can use a tag you can use a commitid.. we 
probably should compile a list of 'useful' commands like that - it's in 
the documentation but you have to know what you're looking for as it's a 
bit scattered.

There's the same kind of thing for bugids too except that's normally 
done as a separate option (maybe it shouldn't be...  for evs there's the 
chance to change it).
