Andreas, I just did a pull of the git mirror and all the tags I had
deleted and renamed came back to life.

The deletion script I use is this:

git tag -d $1
git push origin :$1

so I'm not just deleting them locally. Could your mirroring script 
be having an unexpected side effect?

That sounds like a bad idea.  You probably want
git push origin :refs/tags/$1

to avoid branches or other stuff disappearing.

Since all I've actually deleted with it is *-base and *-branchpoint tags, 
I think we're pretty safe.  Amended.

This is correct.  My mirror script will overwrite _any_ changes in the
git repo.

Well, hell.  I wish somebody had told me that sooner.

Now I'll have redo all those operations by hand, either on the Bazaar
repo or the final git one.

Before you waste even more time: I don't think it will work on the
Bazaar repo, since I guess those tags will be restored as soon as
anybody pushes who has those tags locally (i.e., everyone).

Uh, you wrote yourself in your migrate-to-git plan as one important step
"stop mirroring".

Yes, but the way I assumed it was being done wouldn't restore tags.  
That'll teach me to make assumptions.

Sorry for being unclear.  With mirroring I mean really git push
--mirror.

Yes, that is exactly what happened the last time I tried to delete tags,
as explained in the thread I originally referenced at the start of this.
