"Proper release tags" are something for humans to remember doing, and
so is unreliable.
If we want more information, we can make "git log" command that will
provide that, e.g., the commit date and time.
And of course what you call "the lump of SHA1" is the most beautiful
thing in the whole world, so why should we be shy of that?
