Note that there are also "local" tags which are kept in .hg/localtags
and are not under change control (and thus don't involve changesets).
So maybe the RFE should be to create a local tag rather than a
revision-controlled tag...
For instance:
hg pull --tag -r onnv_96
would pull down the changesets up to and including the one tagged
"onnv_96" in the parent, and then create a local tag in the child
corresponding to that changeset.
