How would that differ from the current practice? 

The list of files is equivalent to the history of the .hgtags file and the tag 
cache is equivalent to the current state of the .hgtags. 

The only different thing I see would be that there would be no explicit 
merging but rather rebuilding the cache, which would mean that I wouldn't be 
able to choose which tag I want to stay in the repository when I merge from 
two repositories which use the same tag. 

Best wishes,
