This is not always true. We could choose to trust tags set
according to our processes to not move (e.g. enforced rules that
disallows deletion/updates of tags), and only use tags for these
recipes, and rely on commit object ids eleswhere.

Tags are only a problem in git if people insist on
modifying/deleting them.
