git tags are just nicknames to commit sha1s. a tag can't point to
multiple sha1s, this is why git tag fails. a possible workaround is to
use prefixes, like MODULE1_BL6 MODULE2_BL6. if this is acceptable to you
then you still need to have support for this in tailor, but at least
then ideally you'll have a workaround
