+1. I was actually to asck if there is a way to pack only tags,
or perhaps even only true tags (i.e. using tag objects).

It's usually the number of tags that limits performance by being
I/O bound (for example for gitweb), and tags change rather rarely
so modyfying/adding/deleting packed ref need not to be over-optimized
for speed.
