Many tags pointing at the same commits?

Hi,

While looking into packaging your software for Debian, I've noticed some strange things, meaning many tags pointing at the exact same commit. That's the case for current master branch:

commit 16a898ed1f4943794fb9b0e7afb7376a7619cf21 (HEAD -> master, tag: v0.19.0, tag: v0.18.0, tag: v0.17.2, tag: v0.17.1, tag: v0.17.0, origin/master, origin/HEAD)

but also for the previous commit:

commit b1f6470ffb9c552dc105dd869f16e36ba86ba7d0 (tag: 0.16.0, tag: 0.15.0)

Is that really what was intended?

Thanks for your input!

Cheers,
Cyril.

There was a period where we would just retag commits to match up with the main binary. But I think that was more than a year ago
