I have to agree, for all the arguments for the existing tags and
branches as copies, there are casualties. The ability to tag a set of
files not residing in the same folder yet retaining their relative
context is non-trivial.

Also notable is the lack of support in the client for finding
files/folders with matching attributes (be they name, property,
property value or a change between, before, on or after a given
time-stamp).

Tagging the way you're suggesting isn't conveniently supported (unless
I'm missing something from my own investigations).
