Yes.
Or `git tag recentwork 8658a39`.
Or `git checkout master && git merge 8658a39`.

In this sense, tag and branch names are just alternative means to
refer to these "true" names of commit objects which are hashes. So you
can use these hash names in any command expecting a branch or a tag
name; that's why Git docs name such things with a common name "commit-
ish".
