This sounds very cool, Jesse.  Very git-like.  I like it.

Did you guys try to address the issue of tag removal at all?  I've been
trying to decide if this is something we need to worry about or not.
For instance, if cworth pushed a tag ".needs-review", you would probably
want to have that tag removed if cworth removed it.  I guess
alternatively he could just push the tag ".reviewed" to nullify the
meaning of the previous one.  I'm not sure that would work in all cases,
though.
