I told people this was insane long long ago, and I thought the hg people
had learnt to use local tags. They act sanely, as far as I know (ie they
act the same way git tags do).
Of course, the problem with hg local tags is that hg apparently has no
sane way to _propagate_ such local tag-space information from one
repository to another. But that's purely a problem with hg itself. I don't
know why that hasn't gotten fixed.
