So far we have been letting the loginfo list of files stay on the
command line because it is seldom the case that someone commits
several hundred long-name files in one go.
But whan that happens then the  %{sVvt} syntax is waiting to produce
the same kind of error from Windows as taginfo was.
But it is of course much more common to tag an entire folder of many
files than to commit them after editing...
