The one that says tags only exist by convention as copies of a
branch/trunk/tag that you're not supposed to commit to. Whether this is
actually enforced by virtue of a hook script or limiting write access to
tags to a select group of people is entirely beside the point.

It's a free web, it can be my religion if I want it to be! ;-)

Vigilance, competence, and a credible threat of bodily harm ;)

Seriously though, what harm would it do if a mistake like this occurred?
It's nothing you can't undo.
