The other change was rather than using ""+refs/tags/*:refs/remote-tags/$name/*"
I've changed it to "+refs/tags/*:refs/remote/tags/$name/*" which seems cleaner.
Again, if remote-tags is preferred I'll change it back.

From looking at the code, it looks like you mean
"+refs/tags/*:refs/remotes/tags/$name/*".

The issue with that approach is that it collides with a remote named
"tags". "refs/remote-tags", on the other hand, represents a new-to-Git
path, one that won't already be in use by any other standard
functionality. That seems like a better approach than hoping no one
out there will call one of their remotes "tags".
