^+\* isn't a valid pattern.
This invocation is to replace both +refs/tags/[...] and refs/tags/[...]
with +refs/tags/[...]. This would be more specific, i.e. ^\+?
git config --replace-all remote.origin.fetch "+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" "^\+?refs/tags/\*:refs/tags/\*$"
But I couldn't remeber offhand whether all regcomp() we use supports X?,
whereas they definitely do support X*.
