[updated PATCH] Protect current tags, import tags into remote tree

git-cvsimport properly creates a subdir in refs/remotes to put the branches in from the remote repository, it currently stores any tags directly in refs/tags, which makes the imported tags overwrite current ones. This patch makes sure that imported tags are under the proper refs/remotes/.../tags subdirectory as well.
