That is a _convention_ that many sites adhere to, but doesn't need to be
coded into the _application_ itself. There are at least a couple of
ways to enforce that on the server, with a pre-commit hook being the
most easily managed. See:

        ./tools/hook-scripts/commit-access-control.pl

as one possible solution. At some point, if someone else doesn't beat
me to it, I will write a commit-write-once script which will permit any
user to create a tag, but refuse to write to an existing tags.
