git-fetch: auto-following tags.
I added things to ls-remote so that Cogito can auto-follow tags
easily and correctly a while ago, but git-fetch did not use the
facility. Recently added git-describe command relies on
repository keeping up-to-date set of tags, which made it much
more attractive to automatically follow tags, so we do that as
well.
