Yes, the error message sucks bigtime, but: use the -S option with import

[I think there was an argument on the mailing list a long time ago to make
this option the default, but Tom didn't want to, I forget why... or maybe
that was just `tla tag -S' ... Hmmm, why not make it the default for import?
If the user has pre-specified the name with `init-tree', there seems little
danger of a finger slip causing a bogus import, which I think was the
Tom's argument with tag... ramblin' ramblin' ramblin'...]
