Ah so. Well, yes, the first tag was IIRC weird since it was a tree tag, not a commit tag. That confused things, but it shouldn't be necessary anymore since all new tags are hopefully commits. That might somehow create the local modifications as well, although I don't have a clear idea how could be that possible. Well, there were some bugs like this in Cogito in the past, but that should be long fixed.

Thanks anyway,
