With "emacs -Q" and:
(setq org-tag-persistent-alist
'(
("ADMIN" . ?a)
("BLOG" . ?b)
("DEVEL" . ?d)
("GET" . ?g)
("LIFE" . ?l)
("MAIL" . ?m)
("JOB" . ?j)
("QUESTION" . ?q)
("PROJECT" . ?p)
("READ" . ?r)
("SEE" . ?s)
))
if I call *Org tags* selection dialog (by C-c C-q, org-set-tags-command) I see
repeated entries from org-tag-persistent-alist.
Currently I switch to org-tag-alist variable which work fine for me (but
semantically not same).
