So to summarize:
      [A]       [B]   [C]           [D]
[1] archive    tag   clean =>  tag
[2] archive    hash  clean =>  latesttag+latesttagdistance-sha1hash
[3] archive    tag   dirty =>  N/A
[4] archive    hash  dirty =>  N/A
[5] clone      tag   clean =>  tag
[6] clone      hash  clean =>  latesttag+latesttagdistance-sha1hash
[7] clone      tag   dirty =>  tag+date
[8] clone      hash  dirty =>  latesttag+latesttagdistance-sha1hash+date

So it's consistent, usable for file names, predictable.

Regards.
Gilles.
