Essentially, using this git config to pull tags from multiple remote
refs works fine:

[remote "origin"]
    url = /Users/christian.goetze/git/tag-merge-demo/origin
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    fetch = +refs/private/tags/*:refs/tags/*
    fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*

But this, leaving out the last line,  doesn't:

[remote "origin"]
    url = /Users/christian.goetze/git/tag-merge-demo/origin
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    fetch = +refs/private/tags/*:refs/tags/*

I would expect either to work the same way.
