Not right now. It should be fairly easy to add a flag that marks all tagged commits (or, indeed, anything that is reachable from .git/refs/) as "TREECHANGE" so that they aren't optimized away, but we don't have anything like that right now at least.

A small exercise for somebody who wants to get into git, perhaps? Hint, hint..
