That's what I propose, leave it as is as it causes no confusion.

If I can talk about tags in branches and in files and have no risk of
getting confused, why change it?

We could move file-tag to file-id, as suggested, but that would be more
confusing as you have to use "arch-tag" inside a file. Should we move it
too to "file-id"?
I'm not opposed to normalizing commands, but in this case I dont find it
necessary.
