Where should we put our tags?

This one isn't really a property of the fact that your tagging
revisions are descendants of the tagged revisions. E.g. you could just
use tag -r and tag the "code" revision you wanted (the same as the
other tags tagged), instead of tagging just the previous tagging
revision.

That said, I'm with Greg on the fact that tagging on a separate branch
probably isn't that useful, but it kind of depends on the rest of your
workflow (e.g. do you use named branches or separate clones or
named-branches-in-separate clones, do you merge everything back into a
default-like branch or not).

Cheers,
