track-tags: write all tag changes to a file
The tag changes information we compute is now written to disk. This gives
hooks full access to that data.
The format picked for that file uses a 2 characters prefix for the action:
-R: tag removed
+A: tag added
-M: tag moved (old value)
+M: tag moved (new value)
This format allows hooks to easily select the line that matters to them without
having to post process the file too much. Here is a couple of examples:
* to select all newly tagged changeset, match "^+",
* to detect tag move, match "^.M",
* to detect tag deletion, match "-R".
Once again we rely on the fact the tag tests run through all possible
situations to test this change.
