You are right it only works at file level currently but you can enter a
description against a revision to mark an important stage in the files
development. Adding a description also ensures that revision won't get
removed by the auto purge system.

I am working on the next version that will have the ability to describe
"projects". This will then give the ability to stamp a symbolic version
number and/or description on all archives in a project and also the ability
to extract all files of a particular version.

Just a note on the auto purge system: If you save a file 100 times in a day
then you will get 100 revisions in your archive. This is good because you
can go back to any version but the archive will quickly get large. This is
where the auto purge system kicks in, which is user definable. A typical
setting for this is: keep all revisions for 7 days but for revisions older
than 7 days, delete them leaving only the latest revision for each day.
This kind of squashes the archive down. This happens with no interaction
from the user. The default option is not to delete any revision with a
description against it so key points are preserved.
