Add tags always on the same branch

convert-repo uses to commit tags on the tip. This has 1 pro and 2 cons:
 - it's cool to have tip (tag node) reflect the last real commit node
   hg up -C gives exactly the same working dir
 - the tags commit nodes are floating all around history w/o real logic
   except the user started convert-repo at that precise time
 - If we consider tags are not part of history but they live aside, it's
   just better to really mean this by tagging always on the same branch
   (unamed)

The proposed solution is to have a fake '0' source changeset that always
points to the last 'update tag' commit. This '0' source changeset is mapped
to a real hg node in the map file, and can be used in a future run to
keep track of this unamed head. The first 'tag' commit is parented
to the first revision.

'0' source node id is safe for both cvs and git backendfs because in both
cases, it doesn't collide with possible real source nodes id. GIT uses
an hexified sha1 and cvs patchsets starts being numbered from 1.
