Force pushing a branch doesn't erase the tags along it nor its parent commits. The commit and the tag still exist in the repository. > That is deliberate, to avoid the lost commit issue. Git commits aren't easily lost. They can be recovered from ASF backups, GitHub, developers working repositories and from the affected repository itself until it's garbage collected. > It's standard within the ASF now. It's a feature provided by the ASF infrastructure if we are interested in using it, not a mandatory policy.

It's possible to work without read-only tags, so let's not overload our processes even more please.
