[Kde-scm-interest] Minor difference in tag conversion

Tags are currently being converted like this:

http://simplest-image-hosting.net/jpg-0-plasma-desktopgw6347
(empty-diff commits diverging from the correct point in the branch,
and tags pointing at those diverging commits)

I think they used to get converted like this:
http://simplest-image-hosting.net/jpg-0-plasma-desktopvz6347
(a linear history with tags directly in the tagged revisions, no empty commits)

Was this a recent svn2git change? Intentional or a side-effect of other changes?

And if I'm imagining things and it never looked like in the second
screenshot, isn't it a good idea to make it that way? Conceptually,
tagging doesn't diverge the code, it marks the current branch state
with a version number. And tag commit messages are in the annotated
tag itself already.
