I really wish we could make some progress with this issue.

It may be ugly but I think the best solution is to introduce a new
option --exact-tag as an additional variant for all commands that
currently accept --tag. Then deprecate --tag (using it should issue a
warning "--tag is deprecated, you probably want to use --exact-tag") and
in the help output, move it to the advanced section, or even better,
don't document it at all.
