determining the root revision of the "latest" tag

Hi all -
Is there any way to programmatically determine the root revision number of
the newest (most recently created) tag (from the trunk)? Right now I am
doing it manually, by first figuring out which is the latest tag and then
looking at its log to find the earliest revision number. It would be nice
if there was some way I could create a moving cvs-style tag to keep track of
the latest tag baseline in the trunk.

I would like to programatically generate a changelog of all commits on the
trunk since the last tag was created (for the purpose of creating release
notes).

Thanks,

Ken
