Yes. I didn't feel it's a good idea either.

Say I follow the (good?) practice and the tagging changesets only
affect .hgtags, no other files. What would be a good way to filter
them out from the history? What I'd need is a hg log that shows me all
changesets except the ones that only modified .hgtags. And also the
inverse: A log of all changesets that affect .hgtags and only .hgtags.
I bet there's an easy one :)

Thanks,
Felix
