[PATCH 5/6] Update git-tag-script to create the .git/refs/tags if it does not already exist

When testing tags I ran into an interesting problem. git-tag-script dies if .git/refs/tags/ does not exist. And that directory didn't get created when I build my repository, so we need to create it if it doesn't exist.
