But in clients like for example WinCvs it is very easy to set the option. Just check the box "Overwrite existing tags with the same name" and you are ready to move the tag. But look at it the other way: if the tag is not moved and you are tagging your snapshot with tag name that already exists, then after the tag is done you do not have the file revisions you think tagged, so if you now check out the tag you put there some or all of the files will change to different revisions. Not the intention behind using the tag in the first place. So making a tag name unique by adding the app name and possibly the date makes sense to me at least.
