You may read from wt-status and then index (or the other way around)
into the set of files to be listed---instead of deduping at the end,
you should logically do "add in from index only for entries we did
not see in wt-status output".  So some deduping is necessary.

But I actually think that the worst aspect of the series this part
of the code shows is the same issue I raised in the previous review
round in the approach, which has not been addressed at all as far as
I can see in this round.

Why does tag[] record the semantic meaning in textual form?  Isn't
this a sympotom that shows the code is turning the information into
textual form way too early, which makes the code very unpleasant to
read and hard to maintain and modify.
