Understandably, as Haiku is the *only* project tagging each and every 
changeset. This is clearly not the intended use for tags. But I don't suppose 
the few people in favor of the tags have changed their mind about it yet? :)

Maybe you can choose not to mirror the tags at GitHib? But that kind of defeats 
their purpose.
