Right.

Yeah. I am not sure --tags-also is necessarily a good thing (I do not think "fetch --tags" is a good thing, either). If --follow-tags does not touch lightweight ones, that may be a bug we would want to fix. I did not mean to implement --follow-tags that way, and I do not offhand remember if there was a reason to omit lightweight ones.

Thanks.
