I've done a merge from your (Tom) most recent tla--dev--1.1, patch-188, which fixes a number of conflicts (mostly whitespace, blah).

It was nice to see file-ids in action, BTW: the star-merge proceed painlessly, even though some of your changes were to files which are renamed in my branch!

My updated revision is: miles@gnu.org--gnu-2003/tla--devo--1.1--patch-36

This renames the various commands &c that deal with inventory ids (ne tags), to use the term `id' instead of `tag', and `id-tagging' instead of `tagging'. The unrelated `tla tag' command is not changed.

The general idea is that `id' is a somewhat more widespread name for this concept (and was already used in many places in arch), whereas `tag', while not all that bad, is easily confused with the CVS notion of `tag'. The act of associating an id with a file, however, still needs a term, and `id tagging' is used for that (think of the tag as something you write the id on).

The changeset format is not changed, so {arch}/=tagging-method is unchanged; however the command to access it is now `tla id-tagging-method'.

The commands for operating on file ids are now:

id : report the inventory id for a file
id-tagging-method : print or change a project tree id tagging method
add : add an explicit inventory id
add-id : (alias for add)
delete : remove an explicit inventory id
delete-id : (alias for delete)
move : move an explicit inventory id
move-id : (alias for move)

explicit-default : print or modify default ids
default-id : (alias for explicit-default)
id-tagging-defaults : print the default =tagging-method contents
