This should not be necessary.

This should not be necessary either.

Originally it was, then for a time it wasn't, and currently it is :).
Better use a tagline which avoids the possibility of having a
.arch-inventory file without an associated tag (or the inverse) in a
changeset. This happened to me once and it resulted into manual
surgery of the archive and the revision library, no fun.
