I think semantically a last-good tag might be another option, unless you are applying build fixes to a last-good topic branch. You also have the option of adding content to the tag describing the build reason, engine used, etc. See git tag --help. I have used that in a Jenkins environment putting the tag move in the step following a build (failure does not execute the step so the last-good build tag stays where it is).
