For three-way merges it was invaluable - if all my changes are tagged,
then it is much easier to see exactly what I have changed. Similarly
during the actual coding, I could find changes very quickly. Commit
those "tags", obviously, would be absurd - actually, I'm not convinced
that whatever editor it was didn't simply display them in the buffer,
but maintained them in a different file or files (I am talking about
something I used about 20 years ago, so can't remember the details).
