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.
