To me this sounds as if Jan is asking for a new feature in git, rather than a change in systemd. If the "git log" output can be improved to show tag information, then it is definitely a good idea to do just that instead of trying to manually influence the output it by delaying commits unnecessarily. I think it is a good idea to make git work nicely with a natural flow of commits rather than adapt the flow of commits to git log. Or in short: a new --show-tags switch for git log sounds like an awesome solution here.
