[Bug]: flux_bootstrap does not reconcile if the flux-system GitRepository is monitoring a tag rather than a branch

[sonalita]

Describe the bug

We run our GitRepository sources off a tag rather than a branch. If the flux_bootstrap Terraform resource detects a change, it does not reconcile unless we edit the GitRepository object on the cluster and remove the tag

Steps to reproduce

Add tag to GitRepository
spec:
interval: 1m0s
ref:
branch: main
tag: 1.9.4-RC

Make a change in the bootstrap resource that will trigger a replace

The reconcile gets stuck in "still reconciling..." until the tag is removed.

Expected behavior

Terraform should reconcile the resource

@sonalita your GitRepository listed has both a branch and tag specified. Should it not just contain only the tag?
