I do not think you can do that.  Once i switched to git (2011 or
a bit before) i even looked around for this, because i have been
educated by BSD and used such tags everywhere, and found a thread
with the Linus from where the elks live regarding this topic.
I guess that $SHA-1$ git (supported by git by then) is the outcome
of this thread, offered as a compromise.  That mail thread exists.
