It makes sense to create a copy where the meaning of its arg
is reversed, so by default it will operate on branches,
and only with C-u on tags.

So the question is what backends already use the arg 'branchp'?
The search shows that vc-cvs-create-tag, vc-git-create-tag,
vc-hg-create-tag all use this arg.
