[PATCH] cg-fetch: handle tags with funny chars, retrieve missing commits

 + handles tags with funny chars a bit better
 + will check tagrefs, trying to ensure it actually has the relevant
   commits. If the commits are missing, it'll go out and fetch them.

This isn't a complete solution for cg-fetch -- git-fetch is actually much smarter now, and cg-fetch should perhaps be a thin wrapper around it, dropping all the duplicate code.
