Here's a patch which fixes fetch-pack. I just rolled the test into the
same commit; I hope that's OK.

I'm somewhat on the fence regarding the upload-pack behavior. It would
probably be pretty easy to fix, but since this is how it has always
worked, I'm not sure if it's worth changing (and I think it is
consistent in a sense -- it just means that the peeled tips we advertise
are meant only as information, and not to be explicitly requested).

One other funny thing I noticed about this code. For ill-formed refs, it
checks that they begin with "refs/" and that they fail
check_refname_format(). But I think that means I could advertise
"foobar^{}" and fetch-pack would consider it a possible ref to fetch.
That seems odd. I guess that's perhaps how it handles HEAD, though. I
didn't dig in further.

Subject: fetch-pack: don't try to fetch peeled values with --all

When "fetch-pack --all" sees a tag-to-blob on the remote, it
tries to fetch both the tag itself ("refs/tags/foo") and the
peeled value that the remote advertises ("refs/tags/foo^{}").
Asking for the object pointed to by the latter can cause
upload-pack to complain with "not our ref", since it does
not mark the peeled objects with the OUR_REF.

Arguably upload-pack _should_ be marking those peeled
objects. But it never has in the past, since clients would
generally just ask for the tag and expect to get the peeled
value along with it. And that's how "git fetch" works, as
well as older versions of "fetch-pack --all".

The problem was introduced by 5f0fc64513 (fetch-pack:
eliminate spurious error messages, 2012-09-09). Before then,
the matching logic was something like:

  if (refname is ill-formed)
     do nothing
  else if (doing --all)
     always consider it matched
  else
     look through list of sought refs for a match

That commit wanted to flip the order of the second two arms
of that conditional. But we ended up with:

  if (refname is ill-formed)
    do nothing
  else
    look through list of sought refs for a match

  if (--all and no match so far)
    always consider it matched

That means tha an ill-formed ref will trigger the --all
conditional block, even though we should just be ignoring
it. We can fix that by having a single "else" with all of
the well-formed logic, that checks the sought refs and
"--all" in the correct order.

Original report and test from Kirill Smelkov.

I just stuck with your same test, but thinking about it, I guess this
would be a problem even for a tag-to-commit.

Diff is -U15 to better show the context (in case you are wondering why
it is so big ;) ).
