Hmm, what is the use-case when using an option --foo is useful when
creating a commit, but not useful when crating a tag?

Apart from introducing inconsistency...

Not between commit and tag, but I can see you may want to auto-wrap for
log message but forbid auto-wrap when editing rebase insn sheet during
"rebase -i".

I think most people who want that just have their editor automagically
recognize the different situations based on the file name or contents. I
don't think the original author is wrong to want to be able to use
command-line options to do so, but if he is using a common editor like
vim or emacs, I think such autodetection has already been written.
