tag support for commits in git backend

[vise890]

what would people view be on adding support for tagging the bumping commits by the git driver?

I'm thinking something like an also_tag flag in the resource setup.

@vise890, could you clarify the use case for this?

[vise890]

i don't use concourse anymore (different team) so it is a bit fuzzy.

But the idea was to have the commit being built be tagged with the version rather than a separate commit on a different branch writing in a file.

@vise890, thanks for the update! In the past day, I've learned a lot more about this feature request. Someone even made a PR at one point. I think there is a use for this. I'd like to see what it would take to get the PR back.

I do think it'd be pretty handy! thanks for the follow up!
