Philip,
Please look at Kacper's patch and Angelo's response to it. He seems to
be asking that tags not be permitted to be pushed as if doing so were
a "fast-forward" update.

This weekend I was, in part, trying to figure out what the correct CC
list for that patch would be, what the documentation change would be,
what changes would need to be made to the advice, what test would need
to be included, and so on to build a proper patch bundle. All of that
while tring to keep the house from "falling in" (I've been doing some
cleaning) and prepare for the Northeastern USA Coast to be doused and
blasted by Sandy in about a day and a half. If we decide to continue
in the path that Kacper and I have stumbled upon (with Angelo's
prodding) I'd appreciate a little help putting all of this together to
mesh with the aforementioned patch. (Heck, if there's somebody better
than me to take this over I'd be game for that too...)
