I'm using a tags package maintained by Sam Kendall, apparently
revision 1.13, 6/4/92, which is a modification of the standard
one to include completion etc.  But I've tried this with the
standard tags package and get the same problem.

The problem is this:
When I do a find-tag or something and the TAGS file has been erased,
I get a message "Tags file has changed, read new contents?"
It's debatable whether I should be asked this at all if there is no
tags file (if I say yes I don't get prompted for a new tags file name),
but that's not my main point.
The point is that if I type "no", I get asked the same question again
before it actually does the find-tag.  (For a total of two times.)
Then, the next time I do a find-tag, it asks me again, even though
the tags file hasn't changed since last time I said "no, don't read it
again."
I get the impression the designer didn't think people would type "no"
much at all, which is probably true, but sometimes I do a "make clean"
and I don't want to bother to recreate the tags file right this second.
        Anyway, it seems to me, if you're going to ask the user whether
or not to read in the tags file, you might as well respect their wishes.
Once they say "no", don't ask them again until the tags file changes
again.  If they change their minds, they can always use visit-tags-table.

Thanks for your time,
