invalid tags created

[Mattias Eriksson]

I did a bzr branch from a svn repo with tags. The tags are not strict tags in that repo but have all a small update to the tag.
This causes the bzr tags created in trunk to not have any revision information, and then bzr complains that the revision doesn't exist if the tags are used.
"bzr tags" gives output like:
"a_nice_tag ?"

I think it would be better just not create a tag if the revison cant be mapped to trunk.

bzr should fetch the revisions for these tags as well when cloning a branch.

[John A Meinel (jameinel)]

We could fetch them, but "bzr tags" would still give "?" for them as they cannot be mapped into the ancestry of the branch. You could have "bzr tags --show-ids" give a revision id, and still be able to "bzr branch -r tag:XXX" etc.

[John A Meinel (jameinel)]

Can you clarify the issue here? Is it that "bzr branch svn" is naming tags in the branch, but not actually copying the revisions for those tags?

If so, I *think* this is a dupe of another bug. At a minimum, we should probably clarify the title.
