Yay! Do I get a cookie? :P

Anyway, I don't know how to obliterate a tag offhand. Of course I could go read
the manual and find out how. But that's just extra cognitive load which could
have been avoided if darcs had prompted me in the first place. Since creating a
tag called "." is almost always going to be a mistake, I think it's best to
write the code, which only has to be done once, but could potentially save time
and effort for more than one user.

I'm not passionate about this, but from an usability point of view, I think the
answer is clear.
