tag: advise on nested tags
Robert Dailey reported confusion on the mailing list about a nested
tag which was most likely created by mistake. Jeff King noted that
this isn't a very common case and creating a tag-to-a-tag can be a
user-error.
Suggest that it may be a mistake with an advice message when
creating such a tag. Those who do want to create a tag that point
at another tag regularly can turn it off with the usual advice
mechanism.
