I know that such things happen, but then it would have been at least a
good idea to post some information about this - as mentioned, nobody
expects that git tags get moved.


Do you also plan to GPG-sign the tags?

Note that annotated tags would also help a lot for example with
commands like "git describe".

Thanks.

Best regards,
