I took a stab at this, adding a --tag option to test_commit and adding
the option to the test_commit calls that need it (or removing tests'
reliance on these tags where appropriate, or removing tests' workarounds
for dealing with these tags when they don't want them), and the result
is 59 files changed, 280 insertions(+), 281 deletions(-)

A test run on master with GIT_TEST_LONG set causes 1138 calls to
test_commit on my system, of which 255 now use the --tag option
(measured with a really crude hack that INCR's some keys in redis at
appropriate points in test_commit).

Is this interesting enough to turn into a proper patch series?
