There are no tags in the repository.  An important datapoint that
might not be clear is that there are five thousand patches, and all of
these patches were recorded in that repo -- essentially recoreded as
quickly as the disk I/O permits.

$ darcs changes --count
5420
$ ls _darcs/inventories/ | wc -l
5420

That's the problem, alright.
