Now that I think of it, the scenario where T adds a cross branch tag for Y is already a problem today: if I only clone C, then my .hgtags file has a dangling reference to Y.

In other words: the consequences of dead branches are not new. All that changes is the heads that are pushed/pulled by default and you can already get yourself into the same problems today with 'hg clone -r'.

Sort of. You're proposing to not propagate dead branches *by default*, which is a significant behavior change, especially in this tagging case.

Yeah, but only if people create their tags while being on the "wrong" branch.

Most users I know just do 'hg clone' without trying to be clever about -r.

Sure, I also never use -r when cloning, or #branch for that matter. About #branch -- Henrik said on IRC that they use the #branch syntax a lot and that they basically never clone an entire repository. So he felt that pushing the abandoned branches to the server is okay, since people wont pull them again anyway.
