What do you mean with "when the tag changes"? A tag IMO should *never* 
change. I know that even CVS allows you to modify tagged files however
I consider this a misuse of the concept "tag". A tag in my understanding is 
identical with the state for a sequence of files and dirs for a given 
timestamp where the timestamp should never change.
