It's a matter of taste - I think this is really smart:
You use the advantages of a filesystem for the tag/branches namespace:
good named tags, hierarchical organization / reorganization of
tags / branches etc. etc. etc.

If you would forget about everything existing,
and would design a "tag / branch manager",
I think you would come up with something which is very similar
to a file system. ;-)
