A revision can enter the history of any branch (via merg= e), > therefore its associated tag(s) will appear on the logs of those > branches. And citing from bzr docs (assuming you believe them ;-): Tags give human-meaningful names to revisions. Commands that take a -r (=E2=80=93revision) option can be given -rtag:X, where X is any previously created tag. Tags are stored in the branch. Tags are copied from one branch to another along when you branch, push, pull or merge.
