From a git point of view, there won't be any performance implications
besides that the tags get fetched on `git fetch` - which is wanted
behaviour I guess.

doing a `git tag` could become a bit slower... But I don't think
that's much of a problem (just did a `git tag` on the kernel sources,
which has 417 tags for me atm:

    real    0m0.015s
    user    0m0.003s
    sys     0m0.011s

so I guess nobody cares. (Well, `git tag` is simply file-read and
nothing more...)
