Git tags should work with SWH, for both saving and falling back.  Well,
Git tags should not be an issue for SWH.  If they are, it is an issue.

I agree they are more readable and the current Guix packaging practise.
On the other hand, they can lead to in-place replacement, whereas
commits cannot. But it is not an issue about SWH, only caused by
upstream bad practise.
