After doing:  
curl -XPUT localhost:9200/test/\_settings -d '{  
"index.routing.allocation.include.tag" : "value"  
}'

how do I unset (remove) this requirement?  
Tried obvious stuff like setting to null or setting  
"index.routing.allocation.include" to {}, but no luck.

cheers

You would set it to the empty string, not an object.
