Why doesn't arch's explicit tagging method do this? Why does it work by scattering arch droppings all over the place?From the implementation side, it seems like a pretty slick method to me. If you move a directory, all the corresponding moves "just work" with the current method - no manual bookkeeping. [...]
Can someone explain to me how this works with explicit tagging, please? I think I'm confused, but I'm not sure.
[...]
The really compelling thing about taglines or internal tags is that source controlled file movement is then transparent to ancillary tools (as well as the user himself.)
I thought they had to be wrapped up in comments, to hide them from the processor, but leaving them visible to the user. Again, I may have misunderstood and been dismissing them without reason all this time, so I'd appreciate any illumination.
