Nice idea, but I am concerned that renaming a tag that refers to a tag
object will turn it into a lightweight tag, which would be surprising
for users.  I think that needs to be fixed before I apply the patch.
Also, when renaming a tag it would be good to check for the cases
where the new name is the same as the old (in which case nothing needs
to be done) and where the new name already exists.

Thanks,
Paul.
