Yes, I think so; although it might be worthwhile elaborating to avoid
any potential confusion. Something like:
Git tags should not be pushed to the ELPA repository. This is because:
* Tags are global throughout any git repository.
* Therefore tags sourced from one package might conflict with tags
sourced from another project (e.g. a version tag "1.0").
* The ELPA repository doesn't need any tags.
Note that git will not push any tags unless you explicitly tell it to
do so.
