[issue3273] Tags length limit seems to be 30 characters

[Jim Lokken]

New submission from Jim Lokken <james.lokken at carefusion.com>:

I was having a problem seeing some tags in TortoiseHg.  I went to command
line and typed "hg tags" and it also didn't show the same tags.  After
manually editing .hgtags file and commits, I saw that tags would work if
there was 30 characters or less and at 31 characters length, they would not
show up.

For example:
Issue683_SystemTest_Preliminary (does not work)
Issue683_SystemTest_Preliminar  (works)

I expect there would be no limit on tag length. Nowhere in the documentation
is that stated.

TortoiseHg for MSWindows, v2.2
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 2.0)
