Doesn't

   git push $over_there 'refs/*:refs/remotes/mine/*'

push your tag v1.0 to refs/remotes/mine/v1.0 over there?  The
version of git I ship seems to do this just fine.

as i wrote before, i'm pulling, not pushing,...

You would need to decline the automatic tag following with --no-tags
(which in hindsight is misnamed; it really means "do not auto-follow
tags"), like so:

      cd $over_there &&
        git fetch --no-tags $my_repository 'refs/*:refs/remotes/mine/*'

Otherwise, you will also get tags in refs/tags/.

git seems to be happily ignoring that flag.
  git fetch --prune --all --no-tags
still re-populates the tags after i delete them manually.

I believe that is bad interaction with "--all" (probably a bug). If I
am remembering correctly, --no-tags is internally a per-remote
setting, so I'm guessing it's not getting set on all remotes here.

I'll look into this more a bit later tonight. Does fetch --no-tags
work when you specify a remote?
