Tags in Mercurial

Note: If you are migrating from ["CVS"], please {anchorlink: CvsConcepts#tags read this discussion of CVS tags} before you continue.

A tag is a symbolic identifier for a ["ChangeSet"].

["Mercurial"] has two kinds of tag.

A local tag is a convenience identifier that is not revision controlled, does not propagate with other changes, and lives in the .hg/hgrc file in a repository.
A "regular" tag (with no special specifier) is revision controlled, does propagate with other changes, and lives in the .hgtags file in a repository.
