Branches are named commits.

Tags are special. The annotated tags are special objects in the repository:

$ git cat-file -p v4.6.0-tp1
object c4c9b4457f0f760c1bf46dd8a309ab76eb128c1d
type commit
tag v4.6.0-tp1

Qt 4.6.0 Tech Preview 1 Release

A tag contains the tag's name and the object that it's tagging.

Annotated tags can be used for signing the release as well, with GnuPG. You 
sign your commit message and the SHA-1 of the commit you're releasing. That 
signs the integrity of the entire repository up until that point.

If you're not using an annotated tag, it's a hybrid. It works just like tags, 
but there's no extra object.
