Also can we make .git/config remote stanza to have something like below


     fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/abc/*

so that one can do

   git fetch t-remote tag-name

and that get stored to abc/tag-name 

You can do whatever you want to your own config file without asking anybody.

Having said that, the point of the recent change to allow you to pull this
way (notice the lack of "tag")

    $ git pull $url $signed_tag_name

is so that you do not have to contaminate your own ref namespace with tags
that are used to leave audit trails in the history graph.

With an entry like below

[remote "github"]
        fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/origin/*
        url = git://github.com/kvaneesh/QEMU.git

when i do git fetch github for-anthony i get the below error

[master@QEMU]$ git fetch github for-anthony
From git://github.com/kvaneesh/QEMU
 * tag               for-anthony -> FETCH_HEAD
[master@QEMU]$ less .git/config 

Also trying to do

[master@QEMU]$ git fetch git://github.com/kvaneesh/QEMU.git  for-anthony:aneesh/for-anthony
error: Trying to write non-commit object 12916047784615b7d8b879d9d39be6c1559e1b1b to branch refs/heads/aneesh/for-anthony

 ! [new branch]      for-anthony -> aneesh/for-anthony  (unable to update local ref)

I understand that replacing the above with below works. But we should
not be required to specify refs/tags there right ?

[master@QEMU]$ git fetch git://github.com/kvaneesh/QEMU.git  refs/tags/for-anthony:refs/tags/aneesh/for-anthony

-aneesh
