I have yet to enter my package into the Julia ecosystem by publishing it or
manually forking METADATA etc.
As I was about to do that, I managed to destroy my local METADATA for the
package. I can, by erasing the entry in METADATA (& cache & lib)
use PkgDev to re-register the package, but when I try to tag it, it gets
all upset
julia> PkgDev.tag("ArbFloats") # or julia> PkgDev.tag("ArbFloats",:minor)
ERROR: METADATA/ArbFloats is dirty – commit or stash changes to tag

What is the remedy?
