Jani posted some patches to do batch tagging from stdin. I guess the last full series posted was at id:cover.1334404979.git.jani@nikula.org I believe Jani has slightly updated (or at least rebased) the patches in git. I reworked and re-posted some of the foundational parts of the series at id:1345382314-5330-1-git-send-email-david@tethera.net I want to have some of this infrastucture for a new style of backup/restore, and it's possible that batch tagging would also speed up nmbug. d
