Ah, OK. I must admit I also use the english words in day-to-day (german)
conversations. However, in case of tags, when spoken, you have the ability to
pronounce tag differently (long "a" when you mean day, short "a" for a git
tag), which is not the case in a written conversation. How about using "neues
Tag" instead of "neuer Tag"?
Bye...
