Tags are really not designed with this in mind, so weird things can and do
happen if you do this sort of thing.

There are robust solutions to this generic issue. They usually revolve
around a particular workflow. The most popular one is git-flow; see e.g.
https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows for a good
overview.

I'm not necessarily advocating that th ET change workflow, but it could be
worth considering.
