To quote some documentation I just wrote for the new --no-tags option
for bzr fast-export:
Since bzr uses per-branch tags and git/hg use per-repo tags, the
way bzr fast-export presently emits tags (unconditional reset &
new ref) may result in clashes when several different branches
are imported into single git/hg repo. If this occurs, use the
bzr fast-export option --no-tags during the export of one or more
branches to avoid the issue.
Would there be a better way to treat the export of tags in bzr
fast-export in order to soften--if not eliminate--the issue of tag
clashes as outlined above? I'm not intimately acquainted with the
details of this one.
