Publish git tags #23595

It would be nice to have tags on some commits. For instance:

release of the compiler
release of the ocaml/opam docker image

That would allow having some meaning when referring to commits for pinned opam repositories. We would have:

git+https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository#ocaml.4.14.1

instead of:

git+https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository#0abdb2a18cf7d83f3db34b17a0502d23e1e2840f

It's not clear to me what the ocaml.4.14.1 tag would mean. Do you need this for the first commit in which an ocaml.4.14.1 package was introduced into the repository?

cuihtlauac commented 1 year ago

Yes, that's exactly the point
