In principle, if the file which contains the tags has been modified, the 
corresponding tagfile should be regenerated. Similarly, if a Vim help 
file has been added or updated, ":helptags" should be run on the 
corresponding directory.

To avoid forgetting the tags update, I recommend regenerating the 
tagfile immediately after the update of the files containing tags.

An alternative procedure, if those files are source files for a compile, 
would be to add in your makefile a rule for the tagfile (with 
dependencies on all files containing tags); then you can either have the 
binary depend on the tagfile, or include the tagfile in some other 
rule(s) (for instance "make all" and/or "make install" etc. depending on 
your makefile). Then make will regenerate the tagfile if needed, when a 
rule that depends on it is invoked.

Best regards,
Tony.
