Here's a patch for cg-export which supports a "-r RELEASE" option. It will export the
specific ID or HEAD and then create a tar gz and a tar bz2 in your previous working
directory using RELEASE as the tarball name and the directory inside the tarball.

Within cogito itself,

cg-export -r $(cat VERSION) /tmp/foo

seems to work quite nicely to make release tarballs.

Unlike my previous attempt, this one does not make evil tarballs. :-)  One could insert a
script to update the .spec file before the tarfiles get created if desired.

Cheers,
