AFAIR "fetch tag $v" is a shorthand for "fetch refs/tags/$v:refs/tags/$"
invented back when Linus was the maintainer of Git. You can say
$ git fetch $url refs/tags/remote-tag-name:refs/tags/whatever-tag-name-you-want
to rename their tag to whatever name in your local repository.
Come to think of it, the last patch I sent out on request pull was very
wrong. The point of the recent change to allow you to pull this way
(notice the lack of "tag")
$ git pull $url $signed_tag_name
is so that you do not have to contaminate your own ref namespace with tags
that are used to leave audit trails in the history graph.
