About six years ago, some release tags were renamed from
release/Version_X_XX_X to release/Boost_X_XX_X. Renaming in svn is
performed by remove and add.
Not quite. The added file/directory also has a property that tells
where it originated from so that it is possible to track file
moves/renames.
Correct, but that does not change the point I am making: We ended up
with two tags, where only one is desired.
Doesn't Boost2Git handle moves? I.e. the old-named tags should appear
deleted, shouldn't they?
Boost2Git does not delete branches/tags. When you delete a branch in
svn, it still exists in the history. But when you delete a branch in
git, it is truly gone. So we decided to keep all deleted branches.

As a post-processing, we delete all merged branches, ie. the result of
`git branch --merged`. Copied tags do not count as merged branches.
