Would we still have a way to push tags only with this?

fetch and push are a bit different: it's almost never a bad idea to run fetch (I see remote-tracking as a kind of cache, and fetch is the way to refresh this cache), but pushing too much can be harmful. Not a strong objection, but I'm not sure that this change is 100% safe for everyone.
