Same problem on the other side of the mountain; it leaves you no way
to make a tag with a name previously deleted.

There's really no substitute for real history for any automatic action
other than "propagate new" (well, you could choose a different action
like 'deletion' to dominate, but all those choices give you
staggeringly worse behavior).
