Re: what's the current situation WRT "immutable" tagging?

Well, the current best practice seems to be to use a pre-commit hook
that disallows all operations on exiting directories except for 'add'
and maybe 'delete' on the root of the tags directory. I'm fairly
certain that if you have a look around, you'll find a variety of
scripts doing that.
