I figured that out, finally, by mistake.  The sequence of operations that 
works is tag (AKA branch), update (on the branch), add, commit.

Doing an update when you know nothing has been added yet is 
counterintuitive   to me.  I did it by mistake originally, and then went 
back and analyzed why it worked.
