I actually think the tag comparision should be removed as it is
confusing. It should say: "Bookmark names can used in all places where
Mercurial expects a changset". The current form of LIKE X except for
a,b,c also leads to people expecting behaviours which might not exist.
The rest of the patch is really nice. Thanks for working on that.
