Ok, well you could write a less-restrictive hook script that would
prevent adding a directory inside a tag directory that has the same
name as the tag directory. For example, if you have a tag
"release-1.2.3", the script should prevent the creation of a
directory "release-1.2.3" inside it. That would solve the specific
problem of trying to create a tag that already exists. You could do
the same for branches if you want.
