What about enabling the reflog on the shared bare repository?
Tags get changed. That's a fact. It's a necessity, no matter what the
theoretical model says. Sometimes there's a reason to replace a tag, and
when that happens there is sometimes a reason to hang on to the old
value. Pretending "it's a social issue" ignores reality, not the least
important aspect of which is "social issues happen. How do we avoid
losing information in a sane, scalable manner?"

Just an example of a tag which could stand to be updated, take a look
at: refs/tags/junio-gpg-pub  There's at least one thing in there which
is out of date.
