Hello,

How do I configure git to handle tags from remotes in a manner similar
to branches?

Specifically, I want tag 'tag_name' from remote 'origin' to have local
name 'origin/tag_name', not 'tag_name', as it is by default. For a repo
with a lot of remotes[*] it would allow to keep track of what tag came from
where, as well as prevent name conflicts between tags from different
remotes (and/or local tags).

On the fetch side, something like this in the config file (assuming
"origin" remote here) probably would do

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/origin/*
	tagOpt = --no-tags

Thanks for the clue, Duy!

Just adding

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

for each existing remote configuration seems to do the trick indeed.

Now I wonder if it would make sense to implement something like

  $ git remote add --separate-tags ...

to be able to auto-configure this.
