+# Important:
+# Subversion doesn't understand the Git concept of tags
+# In Subversion, tags are really branches
+#
+# Only a post-processing (i.e., after converting to Git) of the tag
+# branches can we be sure that a tag wasn't moved or changed from the
+# branch it was copied from
+#
+# This rule will create tags that don't exist in any of the
+# branches. It's not what you want.
