[Libreoffice] Merging old tags

Hi,

I just pushed:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/contrib/dev-tools/commit/?id=7616113f5e211dcd7cc3f3f432ffd08e1c43d48e
it merges the old tags from all the core split repo and makes branches
that contain at least the state of the joined repo at the tagpoints, so
that even old releases could be easily checked out from core.
It tags the merged commit and replaces the old per repo tags with notes
(see "man git notes"), It thereby reduces the amount of tags in core
from

        2009 to a more manageable 1141

It could do even more, but it seems the following tags:
        DEV300_m32-64
        libreoffice-3.3.0.4
        libreoffice-3.3.1.1
        libreoffice-3.3.1.2
        libreoffice-3.3.3.1
        libreoffice-3.3.4.1
        OOO310_m2-19
        OOO320_m1-19
have not all been properly tagged over all repos. Since most of these
are so old, maybe we could still move the remaining ~723
${repo}_ooo/${branch}_m${milestone} tags to notes too without doing a
merge allowing us to end up with ~418 tags, which are directly
buildable.

Opinions?

Best,

Bjoern

P.S.: Since there is no "new" content with the merges it does not
increase the repo size much (~2% before gc and repack).
