For every push, log:
 - who pushed (not the Unix username, which will be "git")
 - which branch heads changed (what from, what to)
 - which tags were created
 - the state of all other branches and tags

Just use git commit-tree with the empty tree and save everything in the commit 
message, one after the other.
