Jeff, thanks for corrections. I originally tried to look into invoking
"git tag" two times, but since git tag always creates a reference it
would not be semantically the same as having one referenced tag object
pointing to another tag object which does not have anything in refs/
pointing to it directly.
Maybe the commit text is not good but I tried to explain the reason you
are talking about with "In order to be sure fetching funky tags will
never break ..."
