You need it for internal use, but it's still available to the users, and
may actually turn out to be useful to users.

Actually, you are rewritting tag and branch based on the internal C API,
but it should be possible to write similar commands based on the
command-line interface and by looking at the documentation. It's part of
the philosophy of Git ("toolkit design") to have plumbing commands that
allow writting high-level commands through scripting, or custom commands
through aliases.
