+When run w/o env, immediately run ctags and replace tags file.

+When run with C<CTAGS_HOOK>, it's assumed to be a BG process and we want to
+wait for git to be done applying changes no matter how the hook is triggered.

+been updated within the last minute. Only then, run ctags and replace the tags
+file.
