We can also use the
dependency graph to perform more complex content operations. A quick way to
prototype new gameplay ideas is to create a copy of an existing tag and tweak
various values. I can accomplish this easily by just copying the file through
Explorer, but what if I want to modify a whole slew of values across the tag
hierarchy? What if I want to create a new variation of the warthog?
If I generate a dependency
graph between a selection of tags, I can copy the tags to a new location and
fixup all the references between the selected tags.

tags.>
On a more global scale, we
can use the dependency graph to move tags around the file system without
breaking existing dependencies. We have done this on more than one occasion
to migrate to new content directory schemes.
