Add tag to scm part
{quote}
Since the very beginning the default value of the tag-field is {{"HEAD"}}
This is a typical CVS-value, which causes some trouble.
For instance almost every ScmTranslator does a check if the value of the tag is
"HEAD".
This looks like a design flaw.
The proposal is to remove this value (or change it to an empty String to
prevent possible NPE's). We'll probably have to check the impact for especially
the CvsScmProvider.
