But that's what I'm saying -- I suspect it searches the whole repository regardless of which module you're checking out. Strictly speaking, it has to do that. It needs to know whether the tag is valid anywhere in the repository. If it's valid even outside of the module you're checking out, then has to know that so it won't tell you that the tag is invalid. But it could be a lot smarter about it. It should search first in the module you specified, and only later in other places.
