[issue498] unreliable tag computation when tags change over time

[Georg-W Koltermann]

New submission from Georg-W Koltermann <gwk.rko at gmail.com>:

when changing a tag, the final value reported for that tag by, e.g., "hg tags"
is unreliable.  The problem is that the final value is collected from all
current heads of the repository, and the "tipmost" wins.  Unfortunately
"tipmost" is not a reliable quantity.  It depends on the order in which
changesets are collected by commit/push/pull.
