Apply a label which gives information about a given version of the repository.

Veracity introduces a new DVCS operation called Stamp.^[32] Stamps can be used to label revisions of the repository with certain attributes. For example, our continuous integration system applies the stamp “goodTests” to each revision of the tree that produced a successful build that also passed the automated test suite.

Veracity’s stamps are conceptually similar to Flickr^[33] tags, but we couldn’t call them “tags” because that word already has a specific meaning in the version control world.
