That would be release-0-6b through release-1-2c, right?

I don't quite understand what happened.  With the repo converted from
CVS, the tag SHAs were all different, but they already pointed to the
same tree object.  After the filter-branch rewrite, they now all have
the same SHA.  I suspect the bug happens earlier.  Jim, can you take
a look?
