I was responsible for identifying that taginfo had to change since we
discovered on our large sandboxes that tagging could not be done.
This is because at about 4K the command line cannot grow more before
Windows throws an exception and refuses to run the script.

So Tony moved the file/revision list to STDIN instead.

The thing is that this change was done about 3-4 years ago or so, it
is NOT a recent change at all. Necessary for Windows work.
