If you can change a tag it's a branch...  A tag specifies a single revision
only, as that's it's purpose.  You can move tags (although that should be done
as little as possible), but they can't hold more than one revision.

If you want to commit a change to several branches that's what merging is
for...  There isn't another practical way to do it other than the way it's
done now, because you're dealing with different code & have to merge
differently in each branch (with possible conflict resolution).
