Yes, that would be great. There's a problem, though. The 40k+ tags do cause 
Opera to hang on loading the current GitHub Haiku mirror 
(https://github.com/haiku/haiku). Chrome and Firefox don't choke, but take 
quite some time for opening the tags list, enough to be very annoying. I don't 
know how Web+ handles things. Also, remember that the tags make bash completion 
unusable for the git command line tools.
