all you care is an hash resolving a filename to a sort of unique id
b85434bac70c3f186e66c110805ec317.
this hash should be maintained outside the data, it's as simple as that.
During import + tla add/rm/mv. This random almost unique ID should be
generated automatically. Then you can forget about the tagging file
mode enterely, those options can be dropped, there will be only one, and
we can discuss if to do strict or permissive checkins by default
(because then doing strict checkins will be always possible ;)
