Not easily, to my knowledge. Assuming that the export will be made
from a tag, the revision at which the tag was created (along with
the path of the tag) could be added through a wrapper script to
perform the export.

Of course, if the policy to export from a tag is followed, *just*
having the tag name is also sufficient.
