It would be helpful if the delete command would displayed the SHA:
    $ git tag -d foo/20060213-1
    Deleted tag 'foo/20060213-1'
    ...  oops, I didn't want to do that
    ...  Whatwas the commit ID again that I can restore the tag?
Instead:
    $ git tag -d foo/20060213-1
    Deleted tag 'foo/20060213-1' 4b397f6
    ...  oops, I didn't want to do that
    $ git tag 'foo/20060213-1' 4b397f6
    ... retagged, phew.

Notice that the message is in the format of copy/paste for immediate retagging.
