It almost seems that when a tag is created the tag should contain a
'snapshot' of the external files at that point. That way all the tagged
files will stay frozen. I'm uncomfortable with this idea as it seems to go
against the idea of having externals in the first place, but then what is a
tag for?
If I view the tag as a 'milestone' revision and that 'the repo should always
build' the possibility that the externals can change so that it won't build
is troubling.
Temporarily bringing the externals into the current wc so that the tag
checkout will always work seems a kludge too.

If I'm talking rubbish I'm sorry.
