Well, then you could remove it after you are done, no?  I.e.

	git tag -a -m "tag to commit" tag-to-commit HEAD
	git tag -a -m "tag to commit (1)" temp-tag HEAD~1
	git tag -a -m "tag to tag" tag-to-tag temp-tag
	git tag -d temp-tag

would make the temp-tag object reachable only via refs/tags/tag-to-tag
I think.
