I copied the mirror, did a checkout from it, ran the command above in
the checked out version, then remove my checkout and checked out
REL7_4_STABLE and did a diff against my copy from the postgres repo that
hasn't been updated for some time. There were no significant
differences, and no extra files.
So I'd say your strategy looks good - backup and remove the phony tag.
I'd also say we should probably be logging tag commands in taginfo.
Presumably we mere mortal committers should not be doing any tagging
whatsoever, and tags should only be applied in preparation for releases.
Anyway, if we actually logged it we'd catch anything untoward early
rather than possibly days later.
