Perhaps we should introduce the notion of a "private tag" or something
along those lines?  (I guess that would still have to be possible to
push it, but not pull it by default...)

All tags are private by default.

We actually *only* fetch tags if somebody explicitly asks for them
(--tags), or when fetching from a named remote (and even then it will
only fetch tags that point to objects you fetched by default iirc -
you have to mark the remote specially to get *all* tags).

But if you do the normal "git pull git://git.kernel.org/name/of/repo"
- which is how things happen as a result of a pull request - you won't
get tags at all - you have to ask for them by name or use "--tags" to
get them all.
