You can do whatever you want to your own config file without asking anybody.

Having said that, the point of the recent change to allow you to pull this way (notice the lack of "tag")

    $ git pull $url $signed_tag_name

is so that you do not have to contaminate your own ref namespace with tags that are used to leave audit trails in the history graph.
