If all tag fields are the same, then there's really nothing to be gained by keeping both. But we can be more certain that this anyway. If the two tags come from different tags files, but point to a tag in the same code file, then it seems pretty much guaranteed that it's a duplicate. When tags generated from the one code file appear in two separate tags files, surely these will represent the same tags. If two separate tags exist for the same name, then they will already be repeated within each of the tags files.
