Having proven my superiour intelligence ;-) I think I can agree if your next proposal is to toggle reflog on for the tag when "git tag -f" is used to update an existing tag and core.logAllRefUpdates does not say "never" (this new value needs to be treated the same as "false" for most other purposes), and the tag does not already have a reflog.
