vcs export --exact-with-tags argument not working, reverts to --exact

[JosephBowkett]

Hi,

Avid fan of this package, cheers for all the work on it.

I've been attempting to use the vcs export --exact-with-tags flag but appear to have discovered that --exact with anything after it is considered as --exact, including --exact-with-tags, appearing to suggest an issue with argument parsing. For example, vcs export --exact, vcs export --exact-xyz and vcs --export-with-tags all produce the exact same output (git hashes only) using Ubuntu 20.04.4 and python3-vcstool 0.3.0-1.

Curious if anyone else has experienced this. I've had a go at debugging but haven't yet figured out how to modify my system install and get it to enact the changes I've made.

Cheers,
Joseph
