Define "easily". I can look at koji for a specific build n-v-r, and
get its git hash quite easily. Then I can tell git to show me the tree
when it was at that git hash. Not as easy as if n-v-r tags were
already in place, which would avoid the need to talk to koji, but
still hardly hard.

See above.

Huh? "THE" reason? Um, no. And there *are* automatic tags. They're
call git hashes.
