Oh, interesting. It's working now and I didn't know that as it was not
working some time ago I've been trying this approach. Maybe it's been
added recently as I also saw several sites having different approach of
tagging to specified commit (usually creating a new branch, tagging
there and rebasing etc.).
Thanks for information!
