Hmmm, that would create a "direct" tag, not a normal tag, which is an object of type "tag" that contains a reference to a commit along with some other stuff.

In general I'd like to keep gitk as purely a viewer. Ultimately I'll probably do a graphical tool for checking stuff in and other operations that modify the repository as well, but I think that should be a separate tool.

Regards, Paul.
