I agree with you that it is too easy to create chaos by changing tags in
a published repository and that git should do more to prevent this from
happening without explicit user forcing.  The fact that git internally
handles tags similarly to other references is IMO an excuse for the
current behavior, but not a justification.

If your remote repository is managed using gitolite, you can institute
restrictions on changing tags via the gitolite config.
