Yes or the slightly more verbose 'add blah version 1.2.3'.  When
we import contrib'd code to the src/ tree we always add a tag
that denotes the version of the code being imported.  Since we
add things to the ports tree we can't (and probably don't want
to) add a tag denoting the version.  We can however put it in the
first commit message which version we added.  Just as we say
'update to version 1.2.4' I think it is also valuable to have
'adding version 1.2.3' so we can tell which version we started
with.

Thanks.
