And rtag isn't discussed at all except for the command line summary
notes, which isn't good since you must use it if, for instance, you
wish to create a tag that can be used as an argument to -j reliably.
Without using rtag, you can't tag removed files, so people who get
the idea from the merge documentation that "tag" is a good command
to use to tag a branch prior to a merge will be in trouble.
