We seem to have been fairly inconsistent in whether we call this
operation "tag" or "stamp", if we look at it historically. With a
little turn towards "tag" lately.

May I humbly suggest that we actually start calling it "stamp"
instead, to make it very clear that this is a different operation from
the "git tag" operation that's done on the tree a bit later?
Reasonable?

+1

I agree that the ambiguity is pretty confusing, and unnecessarily so.

In the CVS workflow there was no reason to draw a distinction, since we
applied the tag at the same time as committing the textual changes.
But I see the point of avoiding the word "tag" now.  I'll change my
private procedural notes to recommend "stamp", but don't guarantee that
I'll remember the first few times ...
