That might even have other interesting uses (specifying the mime type comes to mind (fossil's current support for mime types is quite minimal)) and abuses (nothing comes to mind, but i have no gift for spotting malicious abuses and attack vectors). When/if tcl scripting ever becomes a core fossil feature, a post-checkout/post-revert script could then check/set permissions based on the tags.
