That would only work if tags are always made from working copies. Also, I
imagine the Perl script must have to run revert after it does the copy so
that the property changes it made are not still set.
Anyway, I am not real crazy about this idea. I do not want to write code
that has to parse out that property and set the value properly. If someone
wants to try to tackle it, I am willing to test it.
