I'm working on one already, but with a different initial focus from
what you are proposing. I have no short range plan to do anything with tags.
I call the system MCVS (Meta CVS).
My present concern is to create a layer which adds directory structure
versioning, and sane behavior for the renaming of files. I have a workable
basic design and am just going through the implementation a little bit
at a time. The ``mcvs import'' operation already works.
