Or maybe you did fetch a tracking branch?

I don't think I fetched a tracking branch. If I do:

   $ mkdir foo && cd foo && git init
   $ git fetch ../git master:refs/heads/master

(where ../git is a clone of git.git with a few local changes), I get
all the tags. Good or bad?

That's exactly Linus meant "fetching a tracking branch".  Your
refspec has non-empty string on the RHS of the colon.

	$ git fetch ../git master

is the form without tracking.  IOW, not storing into your refs
namespace.
