It takes loooong time, unfortunately - scp -r takes its time itself on
many small files, and then we have to make a separate call to
git-ssh-fetch for each tag. Isn't that braindamaged... :/

I think you could run git-peek-remote to find all the refs and
then run git-fetch-pack to slurp all the tags (and heads for
that matter) at once.  Is there a particular reason you would
prefer the commit walker?

Actually, probably not, except consistency with rsync and http handling
- but that's obviously not too good reason. I did it this way since I'm
going to be a bit busy again from now on.

It wouldn't actually be very hard to rewrite git-*-fetch programs to fetch 
with a bunch of starting points. The main reason I haven't is actually 
that I don't have any ideas for a way to extend the command line argument 
format to include it.
