In-order to make reproducible builds we create pinned manifests with each commit explicitly listed. We also use this method to create a release. We depend on these pinned commits - if they don't exist the "released" builds can no longer be reproduced.

One amend: the commits need to exist AND need to be reachable through a head.

In other words: due to how the repo tool work, tagging and then rebasing will not be good enough.
