Subject: [PATCH] builtin/fetch: print hash of deleted tag when updating

`git fetch --tags` will unconditionally update (and thus overwrite)
existing tags, which is especially annoying for annotated and signed
tags.

The first question is why s/he is running fetch with --tags if overwriting
is unwelcome/annoying.  "--tags" is meant to be used when the auto-follow
behaviour of normal fetch is not sufficient and the user actively wants to
get the latest (potentially updated) ones; would it be possible that you
are solving a wrong problem?
