Uh, how is it different from any other mass edit, such as our annual
copyright-year updates, or pgindent runs?

Ick ... I'm willing to tolerate a few small manual ,v edits if we have
to do it to make tags consistent or something like that. I don't think
we should be doing massive edits of that kind.
But anyway, that's not the interesting point. The interesting point is
what about the historical aspect of it, not whether we want to dispense
with the tags going forward. Should our repo conversion try to
represent the historical states of the files including the tag strings?
