I think it's simplest to write a patch on top that discusses --no-tags. That way, Junio (and anyone else applying the patch) has the flexibility to apply or cherry-pick this change to old branches without the --no-tags discussion and newer branches with it.

Would you like to write it (or suggest wording), or would you prefer if someone else does?
