After applying your patch and running
$ perl -pi -e 'if (/\ttag /) {
s/754b754407bf032e9a2f9d5a9ad05ca79a6b228f/6c9dec2b923228c9ff994c6cfe4ae16c12408dc5/;

}' t/t5515/fetch.*
to unpeel the three tags used in the test 5515 that used to expect
FETCH_HEAD to have peeled tags to expect tag objects themselves instead,
all tests passes.

I am 100% sure the machinery that comes up with the tree (or half-merged
conflicted state) does not mind being fed tags. After all they need to
peel them down to commits for common ancestor discovery, and they need to
further peel them down to trees to perform three-way merges.
However we would need to audit so that we do not accidentally record the
tag object names in the "parent" headers in the merge commits, which is
what I'll be doing next.
