[p4] Tracking Label Contents

[Ivey, William]

If were that worried about being able to restore the label's
previous state, I think I'd probably opt for a branch instead.
I can see why a label might be attractive, though since it
keeps everything in one line.

If the labeling were done by some automatic process, I'd
probably have one or more labels defined just to track the
previous state(s) of the main label. That would fall apart
if you had to depend on a manual operation, though.

I guess I'm naive but why track the contents of a label?  

I just can't envision a usage model that would require this.
