[PATCH 02/15] t5510: prepare test refs more straightforwardly

"git fetch" was being used with contrived refspecs to create tags and remote-tracking branches in test repositories in preparation for the actual tests. This is obscure and also makes one wonder whether this is indeed just preparation or whether some side-effect of "git fetch" is being tested.

So use the more straightforward commands "git tag" / "git update-ref" when preparing branches in test repositories.
