You could use a branch for every version, instead of using tags. If, for example "4" bases ond what you did in "2", you create a branch from "2" and commit your changes in "4".

Here's an example repository:

Steps to get this structure:

• Created 1 from master
• Switched to 1
• Deleted master git branch -d master
• Created and switched to 2. (git checkout -b 2)
• Created and switched to 2.1.
• Switched back to 2
• Created and switched to 3

I've tried exactly this for a tutorial of mine with 5 stages. It's annoying to maintain and people have to understand git properly just to learn the subject which was, as I discovered, not necessarily true with a large audience. I'd recommend you go with a dumber approach and duplicate the code into multiple directories, one per stage.
