And citing from bzr docs (assuming you believe them ;-):

  Tags give human-meaningful names to revisions. Commands that take a
  -r (–revision) option can be given -rtag:X, where X is any
  previously created tag.

  Tags are stored in the branch. Tags are copied from one branch to
  another along when you branch, push, pull or merge.
