           Summary: When pushing a tag for a revision that does not exist
                    at the destination Mercurial does not warn you.
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Mac OS
          Reporter: jeremy at marzhillstudios.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: default branch
         Component: Mercurial
           Product: Mercurial

This can happen when a user is using multiple heads locally and mistakenly
creates a tag for a revision in one head from a different head.

If the user then subsequently pushes the head with the tag but abandons and
does not push the head the tag points then you have an invalid tag for everyone
to pull down later.

My team at work has somehow managed to do this twice. I'm probably going to
write a hook to catch on our repository server but it might be nice if
mercurial warned the user before pushing.
