I have a bunch of tags in my repo that have been cloned from linus. So the tags do move through the system. But it seems that they need a commit to make them move, apparently creating a new tag doesn't count as a commit (and make a new tree head id).

[jonsmirl@jonsmirl .git]$ ls refs/tags v2.6.11 v2.6.11-tree v2.6.12-rc2 v2.6.12-rc3 v2.6.12-rc4 v2.6.12-rc5 v2.6.12-rc6
