Hello,

This would be a useful feature to have. I was about to file a new bug
when I read about this. I feel this applies to push as well as pull.

Below is the report I had already composed to be for filing as a bug:

While pushing/pulling tags bzr gives no indication
of it.

I applied tags to a local branch and pushed it to
our server using sftp. I get the "No revisions to push"
message. So I was not sure if the tags were pushed.

So for another branch I needed to tag I applied tags
directly to the repo on the server so that the tags can be
seen by everyone. On doing a pull locally I see the
"No revisions to pull" message but the tags command
shows that tags have been pulled.

[acpstable]% bzr pull
Using saved parent location: sftp://<email address hidden>/home/user0/repo/acpstable/
No revisions to pull
[acpstable]% bzr tags
v0.90.0 1455
[acpstable]%

It seems bzr is doing the right thing but as the user
does not get an indication of it its can be confusing.

It would be good if bzr can show some indication that
even though revisions are not pulled some meta data.
"Metadata updated", "Tags updated" or something.
