The code for tagging blindly wipes any existing tags and branches and
puts its own there.  It also can't handle deletes, certainly not
renames, and really is useless for any serious tracking of sources.
Really it should be stripped down into 'create new repository' as it's
just confusing as it is.

It's far better to do a recursive remove followed by a recursive add
to update sources.. if you want a vendor tag just tag it after the
add.
