I'm not as familiar as I'd like with Git's handling of tags - are they  
supposed to not change as in the usual tools won't let you without a -- 
force, or they aren't supposed to change merely by convention of them  
being tags?

If the former, then maybe we can do something with the actual .hgtags  
file in an unrelated branch that gets saved in the repo, but that  
feels a bit messy to me.
