Well, it does let you have version controlled moving tags. So you can 
have a --dev branch and a --stable branch where stable is simply tags 
off of --dev.

I do think that the idea of making commit branches or tag branches, but 
not freely mixing them is a decent idea.

One thing I would say, is that probably 'tla tag' should be called 'tla 
branch' since that is closer to what it is doing, and prevents confusion 
from cvs users.

Maybe leave in tag, but it can only be used to create tag-only branches, 
versus 'branch' which can only be used to create base-0 versions.

The only problem is how do you tell if base-0 was created with tag or 
branch?

Maybe this is more for something like baz.
