[Manual] seems to me too broad term. On the other hand, is there any
need for [bug fix] tag? Usually it's clear from the commit message :-)
I would vote for [FEATURE] and [UPDATE]. But still I'm not sure what
should be considered as an update... (any thoughts of examples what is
and what is not an update?)

Anyway, it will probably need some time to get used to any tagging...
developers are lazy, otherwise they wouldn't have became developers
:-)
