Hmm. I just noticed hit another problem with merge. I have a local
commit that deletes a couple tags; when I attempt to merge I get
complaints about local changes to files. 

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
	tags/1406859003-11561-2-git-send-email-amdragon at mit.edu/needs-review
	tags/1406859003-11561-3-git-send-email-amdragon at mit.edu/needs-review
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting

Calling the perl version of nmbug successfully creates a little 
diamond merge
