What bothers me most is the fact that, at the moment, 'tags' and
'branches' are "the thing".
(I'm looking at this from a point of view where 'branches' and 'tags'
are just ways of working with existing data for i.e. stabilizing an
application.)
But what if tomorrow some VCS invents something new? I do acknowledge
the fact that there's a great need for a user interface that makes
tagging/branching easier, quicker and shorter (length of the command) to
do. But I don't think it should be something to implement in the main
application.
