Nope.

If not, is there any other command to create such tags?

If it's just a light-weight tag, you can use the low-level (plumbing)
command update-ref to create an arbitrary ref:

$ git update-ref refs/blargh HEAD

If it's an annotated/signed tag you want, you'll have to first create
the tag object with 'git mktag', then use update-ref to create a ref
to that tag.

See git-tag.sh in the contrib directory of git.git.

HTH,
