Wouldn't it be possible to make the TAGS mergable in the future, or is this a 
bad idea?

If you had a file internally for each TAG with the revisions on each line that 
it currently map to. Of course maybe there would be a problem with how TAGS 
got synced when you do a pull/sync.. But maybe that could be solved.
