I am finding it hard to visualise the problem here.
I thought replay just looks for all patches that are missing in the
current version and replays the change-sets?
I fail to see why it should be any different for continuations?
I guess that there is a good reason, just that I can't quite
understand...
(disclaimer: I haven't needed to use tags yet...)
