If tag following is required when using a transport that does not support tag following, fetch_pack() will be invoked twice in the same process, necessitating a clearing of the object flags used by fetch_pack() sometime during the second invocation. This is currently done in find_common(), which means that the work done by everything_local() in marking complete remote refs as COMMON_REF is wasted. To avoid this wastage, move this clearing from find_common() to its parent function do_fetch_pack(), right before it calls everything_local(). This has been occurring since the commit that introduced the clearing of marks, 420e9af498 ("Fix tag following", 2008-03-19). The corresponding code for protocol v2 in do_fetch_pack_v2() does not have this problem, as the clearing of flags is done before any marking (whether by rev_list_insert_ref_oid() or everything_local()).
