That's a nice feature, I remember we had that one as a feature request for git tag just a few days ago. It works well with git.git version numbers but won't be usefull in this case for git.git since git.git has other tags too (like the gitgui version tags). However if you've a nice namespace for the tags where you only tags versions, it might be an alternative.
