I overlooked your earlier huge testcase patch, but I noticed it
does not include any test that fetches an annotated tag that
points at a commit or a non-commit, nor an unannotated tag that
is a tree or a blob.  I am too tired to check them right now,
but are you sure you are not regressing with them?

It is sometimes handy to be able to say:

	$ git fetch git-gui tag spearce-gpg-pub
        $ git cat-file -p FETCH_HEAD
