No. Just _ONE_ tagged commit should be enough. In a project of mine I
tagged the root commit and as I am the only committer and this project
is so simple that I don't have to do a lot of branching/merging, I get a
single line of history

	t - o1 - o2 - o3 - o4 <- master
	^
	|- tagged root commit

This gives me very nicely enumerated commits like tag-1-g<sha1-abbrev> for
the commit o1 and tag-2-g<sha1-abbrev> for o2 ... you get the idea.
