Couldn't you just keep the .hgtags file and have everyone interested in the tags use special scripts? (Admittedly, I'm horribly totally by Git's behavior in this area. I haven't figured out yet under what circumstances tags are pushed and pulled, so I'm not totally opposed to the Mercurial model. 8-/) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
