Paul,
The revision you made to jtags below, in which the tagging process
is broken into three passes, has an undesirable side-effect when the
resulting TAGS file is used for tags-search or tags-query-replace.
The problem is that each file in the source directory appears _three_
times in the TAGS file, which means that each file will be visited three times
by tags-search, etc. (I tested this). This is very inconvenient if you want
for example, to review all uses of a particular identifier or replace
only some occurrences of a pattern.
I am not very familiar with xargs, but I wonder if there is some other way
around the buffer problem you cite below.
Regards, and thanks for a _great_ JDE!
