Nicely said. If we forget to peel, that is a bigger problem, but I do not think it makes any sense to single out tag-of-tag as "curious" and forbid it, when we silently allow tag-of-blob or tag-of-tree happily. An opt-in (i.e. default to false) tag.allowTaggingOnlyCommits I do not have any problem with, and I could be persuaded into taking an opt-out (i.e. default to true) tag.forbidTaggingAnythingButCommits configuration, perhaps, though.
