I do not understand what you mean by "history of tags".  Are you
talking about "tag v1.0.0 was pointing at X commit yesterday but
now today it points at Y commit"?

You completely lost me here.  The '--' markers are to mean "from
here on the parameters are not revisions but are path limiters",
so you are doing something else.  What are these <sha1#1>, <sha1#2>,...
in this?  Are they revisions (i.e. commit object names)?
