I was very much under the impression git is not designed with repeated |

The git tag documentation very much implies that any tag having its |
| 10 |
reference changed will result in effort being required of everyone who |
| 11 |
wishes to consume that tag. ( It literally brands the act of |
| 12 |
re-tagging things to be "insane" ) |

Tags are very much intended to be immutable references to commits. |

If you need mutable references to commits, isn't that what branches are for? |
