Hmm. Yep. Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote the above, but this
behavior does become confusing in the case when the non-existant tag is the
compound of a static tag and ".origin". I think it would be easy for a user to
expect that statictag.origin would return the origin of the branch that the
static tag is on (it doesn't - it's returnning empty...). This ties into the
non-specific error message I mentioned earlier. Perhaps this behavior should
simply be forbidden? If we want a way to specify the parent branch, an extra
magic tag, say, '.parent', could be added.

Predeterminism was doomed from the start.
