Fine, i'll just keep all the non-snapshot tags for now.
There's no reason why we have to keep all the tags in one place.
Further, we can import them all, and then later remove, move or rename
them and these things seem to be versioned(?). I can't imagine that
the size of tags would matter, I think we should do that. We could
even move old tags to a directory called old if we wanted to, to help
sort out the chaff and reduce clutter while still allowing people
doing archeology to be able to easily find them. It seems safer to
import them all, and then remove them in the new system, as it seems
to be trivial to restore any mistakes, while, if they go missing in
the import, putting any tag back would be, uhm, hard.
Hmm... What about the "trivial" strategy of automatic commit mirroring
for a sufficient
long time? I guess old information deflates in value pretty fast (maybe
about one year?).
Could be easier to implement.
