In what way are release tags expensive? I've been thinking of using tags to make a commit a single operation instead of a bunch of changes just connected by the commit-log, and for storing meta-information for merges. With this and some merge-related tags (for storing meta-information) syncing RELENG_* and -current the way we want should become quite a bit easier. Are the tags so expensive this would be non-feasible? I thought they would be a comparatively cheap way of storing minor amounts of meta-information. Eivind.
