Hello,

Attached patch adds a section to the org-hacks page of Worg with a
function that removes redundant tags, that is: tags that are inherited
by a parent headline or the #+FILETAGS headline and local to a
headline.

This function is useful for me as I generally use tags to denote a
todo's context (priv for private, work for work related etc.) and in
addition split my agenda files by context, too (work.org,
private.org). If I file new todo headlines using `org-remember' they
go in a central file (bucket.org) and I tag them so they show up on
tags searches.  After refiling the context denoting tags are
duplicated -- hence I wrote this little function to remove them:

(defun dmj/org-remove-redundant-tags ()
  "Remove redundant tags of headlines in current buffer.

  A tag is considered redundant if it is local to a headline and
  inherited by a parent headline."
  (interactive)
  (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
    (save-excursion
      (org-map-entries
       '(lambda ()
	  (let ((alltags (split-string (org-entry-get (point) "ALLTAGS") ":"))
		local inherited tag)
	    (dolist (tag alltags)
	      (if (get-text-property 0 'inherited tag)
		  (push tag inherited) (push tag local)))
	    (dolist (tag local)
	      (if (member tag inherited) (org-toggle-tag tag 'off)))))
       t nil))))

Regards
