The original spec for this work remains in the source tree,
docs/tagging.spec:

+ 1) Tag character set: A-Za-z0-9_+.- 
+    Can't start with hyphen & max length is 128 (NAME_LEN).


Then if you look at WHATS_NEW:

Version 2.02.77 - 22nd November 2010
====================================
...
  Remove tag length restriction and allow / = ! : # & characters.
