Ideally, they'd be per-project, I think.  I don't know how to express
'per-project', though.  (I suppose the revision-id of commit 1?)

So I'd like them to be per-repository; "bzr checkout -rtag:bzrtools-0.8"
should work when I'm not in a branch directory.  And I certainly don't
want branches disagreeing about what the tags are.

I think we could spit out a file indicating
1. the conflicted tag name
2. log --long display for each candidate revision

The user could edit the file and then do 'bzr update-tags' or something.
