You can always use a SHA1 id instead of a tag. So when you did
git bisect good v2.6.17.4
you could always have replaced that "v2.6.17.4" with the SHA1 of the
commit.
In git, the SHA1 ID's are the "real" names - the tags and branch names are
purely for human-readable decoration. Git always turns them into SHA1 id's
internally.
