Ah, you are correct. We do not follow lightweight tags; I am
not sure if we should.
We detect from ls-remote output if you have objects pointed by
remote tags (either signed or unsigned -- we cannot tell it from
ls-remote output) and fetch those tags that point at what we
have.
The auto following is done only when you are tracking remote
branches, BTW. Promiscuous fetch for immediate merging does not
follow tags.
Totally untested, so if somebody is interested, please test it,
and if it works, sign it off and bounce it back to me ;-).

[PATCH] make "git fetch" follow unannotated tags as well.
