Tag api submodule

[IamTheFij]

Proposal

The Nomad API is used in a number of other projects (Traefik, Diun, Prometheus, etc...) however the module github.com/hashicorp/nomad/api has no tagged versions. Is it possible to create release tags for the API? An api/v1.7.2 tag would be great, but it is probably worth some policy on when to tag an API module release.

Use-cases

Building projects dependent on Nomad API without having to pin shas.

Attempted Solutions

Pinning specific shas

Hi @IamTheFij and thanks for raising this issue. Tagging the API sub-module is something we have discussed internally and there is a desire to do this. I can't quite remember the details, but there are a couple of items we would need to sort and figure out first before we would be able to do this.

Currently to find the commit of a tagged released the command git rev-list -n 1 <version can be used. The SHA returned can then be used within the go get command.
