I did manage to finish, about 70 minutes elapsed.

Although you'r probably right that a file of tags is the right
representation (it is what git-annex uses also), I think we'd need to
define a custom merge driver to take unions of lists in the same way
that git-annex does. Otherwise merging will be less automagic than it is
now.
