dirstate-tags is not a good choice. pack-0.92 is the current default
format and is much better. As its name suggests, it requires bzr 0.92,
while dirstate-tags only requires 0.15. But those are both quite old,
and you should always use the latest version anyway, which you are, so
it's moot.

pack-0.92 is generally much, much better, though that might be different
with NFS.
