Anything starting with (3) is not about interface changes but rather
these are feature requests.

I have one feature request which does have something to do with
interface: I'd like to see a set of sensible shortcuts to operate on
tags for common cases, like "make this commit start a branch named
`mistake' (or a leaf of it) and then close this leaf immediately".
Currently fossil has very low-level support for tags accessible from
its command line which require deep level of knowledge about how tags
are organized, what's the deal about symbolic vs raw tags, what are
propagating tags etc--this is all "plumbing" commands (the term borrowed
from Git lingo), and I, as a user, would like to have a set of
higher-level commands to operate branches and leaves.

Yes, I know about web interface (which is cool, no doubts) but I'm often
using fossil while being logged over SSH where using `fossil server` is
technically feasible but requires thinking about establishing SSH
portforwarding up front which is inconvenient.
