[RFC] svnimport/cvsimport: force creation of tags that already exist.

[Michael Smith <msmith@cbnco.com>]

Hi all,

git-svnimport was changed recently to use git-tag to make tags (47ee8ed2). 
I've had to add the "-f" option to import a repository where a tag was 
moved. I think git-cvsimport would have the same problem.

I understand moving tags is frowned upon in Git. I don't know how common 
the practise is in Subversion and CVS, or whether it makes sense to 
make the import scripts force tag creation by default.

Mike
