Currently git-cvsimport tries to create tag objects directly via git-mktag in a very broken way, e.g the stuff it writes into the tagger field of the tag object doesn't really resemble the GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT. This makes gitweb and possibly other tools that try to interpret tag objects to be confused about tag date and authorship.
Fix this by calling git-tag instead. This also has a nice side effect of not creating the tag object but only the lightweight tag as that's the only thing CVS has anyways.
