well, normally with darcs it's not too bad, it asks you interactively, and you 
get both tags as choices. not sure what happens when you do a 

darcs get --tag=collision

though.

what I'm hoping for is to be able to tag the hg repo by hand now (using a 
unique tag name) then to get tailor to skip the offending tag which it's on 
currently, and then have tailor continue conversion of the rest of the 
patches. how can I get tailor to skip this tag?
