While I like the idea of private tags, I find the idea of them having

The problem I have with this is that in my mind lightweight tags /are/
bookmarks - why create another namespace for them with all the extra code
that is needed to deal with them?  If we implemented this bookmark stuff then
I can't envisage ever using a lightweight tag.

Well, I was thinking more about having private full tags ... but I think the tagopt thing you mentioned later already covers it.


Maybe I'm missing the point - what do people see lightweight tags as useful
for if not for marking revisions in a not-to-be-published fashion?

I use them in private projects 'cos I'm lazy - but that's not really relevant ...
