So right now, tags matching the refspec are rewritten. They are 
currently rewritten with a lightweight tag.

That is unintended.  My understanding of a tag was always that it is 
something immutable.  I mean, _really_ immutable.  If you released a 
certain version, then that is tagged.  You must not rewrite the tag.  
Ever.

Then what is the intended behavior for --tag-name-filter?

To be honest, I wanted to rip that part out before posting the initial 
filter-branch patches, and forgot/was too lazy.

IMO there should be clean semantics first, and a default mode that does 
_not_ rewrite tags at all first.

Maybe something as in fast-export.

Ciao,
