I don't know how git does things but in hg, creating a tag creates a new commit.  Whether or not the commit stays as a head depends on if later commits are done on top of it or not.  Some people prefer them in-line, some people don't. (And some tools that auto-tag things make it really hard to keep the tags in-line.)
