Well, because repositories can contain completely independent branches,
I'll have to say no. Because you might have 2 libraries, both with
'release-1.0', and they would definitely point to different versions.

I don't think we want to make any sort of requirement that tags be
unique inside a repository.

So I've changed my stance. I think tags should be a branch-level
property. Not repository level.
