The code below works but there are a couple of problems.
1) If the first tag is there but not the second, then it just replaces everything in the file after the first tage with the new text "something in b/w tags"
2) If the second tag (closing tag) is there but not the first, then it deletes the closing tag.
Is there a way to only have this work if both tags are present?
the file contains the follwoing lines

bup-tag
bup-tag(1) General Commands Manual bup-tag(1)NAME
bup-tag - tag a commit in the bup repository
SYNOPSIS
bup tag
bup tag <tag name> <committish>
bup tag -d <tag name>
DESCRIPTION
bup tag lists, creates or deletes a tag in the bup repository.
A tag is an easy way to retreive a specific commit. It can be used to mark a specific backup for easier retrieval later.
When called without any arguments, the command lists all tags that can be found in the repository. When called with a tag name and a com-
mit ID or ref name, it creates a new tag with the given name, if it doesn't already exist, that points to the commit given in the second
argument. When called with '-d' and a tag name, it removes the given tag, if it exists.
bup exposes the contents of backups with current tags, via any command that lists or shows backups. They can be found under the /.tag
directory. For example, the 'ftp' command will show the tag named 'tag1' under /.tag/tag1.
Tags are also exposed under the branches from which they can be reached. For example, if you create a tag named 'important' under branch
'computerX', you will also be able to retrieve the contents of the backup that was tagged under /computerX/important. This is done as a
convenience, and should the branch 'computerX' be deleted, the contents of the tagged backup will be available through /.tag/important as
long as the tag is not deleted.
OPTIONS -d, --delete
delete a tag
EXAMPLE
$ bup tag new-puppet-version hostx-backup
$ bup tag
new-puppet-version
$ bup ftp "ls /.tag/new-puppet-version"
files..
$ bup tag -d new-puppet-version
