I do, thank you! (But it will never be the case that conflicts are modelled in Git, unless one uses notes or something to build a more expressive database on top of it, whereupon I think it's not really reasonable to call the resulting system "Git".)

The git object system is based on objects having types. There was a time when the "tag" object type did not exist. The only difference between then and now is the installed base.
