That seems like a great idea!
The tags are to be passed as arguments? or are their predefined tags that
are stored while creating the DB.
it's one of the hash values that should be stored.

Thank you for the detailed explaination, something like this would
appropriate?
hashlib.sha1('blob ' + str(len(file_content)) + '\0' +
file_content).hexdigest()
I have more experience with Python than C, so would it be okay to use
Python for this project?
