Ah, you are correct.  We do not follow lightweight tags; I am
not sure if we should.


I'm fairly sure we shouldn't. The default update-hook prevents them (if enabled), and I can't for the life of me think of why anyone would want to distribute such tags.

OTOH, preventing unannotated tags from being pushed seems like a better way than to not have the ability to auto-follow those same tags. After all, it's better to discourage than to disallow.
