(My comments are in swedish as it feels more natural in this context).

While I do agree, I'm trying to reply in English since the Git list is in
English.

Usually yeah, but when a PO file is under discussion only people that
speak the language can contribute usefully anyway, so I think it's OK
if that discussion is not in English.

How about "[L10N SE] etc." subject lines etc.? That way people can
easily filter out all L10N posts but keep those relevant to them
(including their language).

Fixed.

Tag = etikett

While I do agree, I have never heard anyone use "etikett" for a tag in the
computer science sense (neither a HTML tag nor a VCS tag). While "tagg" is
obviously horrible, I do use it in the translations simply because that is
what everyone else is using.

FWIW mercurial uses märke, e.g.:

    msgid ""
    "The reserved name \"tip\" is a special tag that always identifies the\n"
    "most recent revision."
    msgstr ""
    "Det reserverade namnet \"tip\" är ett speciellt märke som alltid\n"
    "identifierar den senaste revisionen."

and:

    "denotes the tipmost revision of that branch. Tag and branch names must\n"
    "not contain the \":\" character."

    "anger den högsta revisionen på den grenen. Märkes- och grennamn kan inte\n"
    "innehålla tecknet \":\"."

and:

    msgid "replace existing tag"
    msgstr "ersätt existerande märke"

    msgid "make the tag local"
    msgstr "gör märket lokalt"

    msgid "remove a tag"
    msgstr "ta bort ett märke"

etc.

I'm trying to advocate "Marke" for DE ;)
In fact, subversion seems to be a good source for inspiration - at least
for the terms...
