Research direction
Start by inspecting how pedigree, commits, and the commit object are defined in the CycloneDX specification. Compare the proposed tags-on-commit representation with the alternative of tags alongside commits, including how a tag points to a specific commit. Done means the specification has a decided, documented representation for VCS tags.

Description
Describe the feature
Currently, there is no good way to represent version control tags.
Possible solutions
Suggestion is to add a new optional field with list of tags to the pedigree -> commits -> commit object.
Alternatives
It could be considered to add tags alongside commits, but then it won't be possible to represent tags pointing to a specific commit.
