Tag files with multiple lines for a given item are not normalized by 
"cat" or "copy"--they still have multiple lines in the output.  As a 
side effect, of this, --patch adds extra copies of an item to the 
output.

For example, if you have a file TAGS containing:

  foo: baz
  foo: bar, baz

and a file PATCH containing:

  foo: +quux

then running 'tagcoll cat TAGS -p PATCH' results in:

  foo: quux
  foo: baz, quux
  foo: bar, baz, quux

Adding tags to an item with repeated patches will use a quadratic amount 
of space in the final file.
