This is v2 of my proposed fix for the "local tag killer" problem that I reported recently [1]. Thanks a lot to Junio for his feedback on v1. Changes since v1: * Rebase to current upstream master (0d6cf2471f); no conflicts were encountered. * Incorporate feedback from Junio: * Improve the documentation as suggested * Fix a few typos * Document get_expanded_map() and fix a minor memory leak that I found there. * get_ref_map(): Do not look for references that can be updated opportunistically among the entries added by "--tags". Preserve the order of output list when changing the function to handle the new "--tags" semantics. (I know more about how the output is used and am less worried now that the changes will have bad interactions with the rest of the system.) * Improve the description of tag-following in the "git fetch" manpage. * Moved the changes to ref_remove_duplicates() later in the series, as they were not really integral to the rest of the patch series. Make the following changes to that function: * Add tests of how it handles duplicates. * Simplify the loop in a different way than v1, to make it more modular. * Extract a function to handle duplicates. * Improve the error messages emitted if ref_remove_duplicates() finds conflicting duplicates, and mark the messages for translation. * Do not die() if a user-specified refspec conflicts with an opportunistic update.
