Tagging, signing and actually uploading should be left to dgit
push.
I will try to arrange for the error message to refer to the manpage.
The reason for this requirement is that if you are intending to use
dgit it does not make sense to sign the package before running dgit
push. dgit needs to add a field to the .dsc, so it needs to re-sign
it.
If you sign it first, then you are creating two different signed .dsc
files (and perhaps .changes) for the same upload; this is an accident
(wrong thing uploaded) waiting to happen. So dgit arranges to fail if
your workflow is wrong.

The tag that dgit pushes is the Debian version tag. These should not
be rewritten. So I think that if this has happened, you need to bump
the version and rebuild.
Thanks,
