The thing is: signed tags cannot be rewritten. As simple as that. They could be recreated if the committer happens to be the original tagger, but even then, it is a rewrite of _tags_, which are _not_ supposed to be moving targets. So it was very much on purpose to disallow rewriting them by default.
