If the remote peer upload-pack process supports the auto-follow-tag
protocol extension then we can avoid running a second fetch cycle
on the client side by letting the server send us the annotated tags
along with the objects it is packing for us. In the following graph
we can now fetch both "tag1" and "tag2" on the same connection that
we fetched "master" from the remote when we only have L available
on the local side:
T - tag1 S - tag2
/ /
L - o ------ o ------ B
\ \
\ \
origin/master master
The objects for "tag1" are implicitly downloaded without our direct
knowledge. The existing "quickfetch" optimization within git-fetch
discovers that tag1 is complete after the first connection and does
not open a second connection.
