But I think "only packing tags" is a reasonable default

Sure, I agree. I just think that it had the unintended side effect when 
the code then didn't repack stuff that had already been packed earlier.

Which is why my fix doesn't actually change the fact that we only pack 
tags by default, but just fixes the thing that caused us to then totally 
drop previously packed non-tags.

So now the default isn't really "pack only tags", but "pack only tags *or* 
things that were already packed".

The reason, of course, is that if we don't pack stuff that used to be 
packed, it will just be dropped entirely. Oops.
