taginfo
-------

Runs a program at tag time (usually done to check that the tag name
matches some pattern).  Each line is of the form:

REGULAR_EXPRESSION PROGRAM

The program is handed a set group of arguments.  In order, they are the
tag name, the operation (see below), the repository, and then as many
file name/revision-number pairs as there are files involved in the tag.
The file/revision pairs are separated by whitespace, like the rest of
the arguments.

The operation is one of `add', `mov', or `del' (`mov' means the -F
option to tag was used).

If PROGRAM exits with nonzero status, the tag operation will not
succeed.  (See also the section Note: Shared Syntax in this chapter.)
