git-tag will accept the usual object syntax:
  git-tag magic HEAD:foo
  git-tag magic e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391

So you just need to create the blob:
  git-hash-object -w foo

If you make an annotated tag, git-show will give you the actual tag; looks like it doesn't peel away unless it's a commit.
