There are similar questions around remote notes refs. Should there also
be a refs/remote-notes? And there was some discussion recently about
fetching remote replace refs.
Should we perhaps be massaging refs/remotes into a structure to handle
all of these things? Like:
refs/remotes/origin/HEAD (-> refs/remotes/origin/heads/master)
refs/remotes/origin/heads/master
refs/remotes/origin/tags/v1.7.4
refs/remotes/origin/notes/commit
refs/remotes/origin/replace/f67e92af477a2255b64a1ece33d9d126e763fe9b
i.e., make refs/remotes/* an actual mirror of selected parts of the
remote's refs/ hierarchy. And then figure out sane rules for merging
those namespaces into the ref lookup procedure. For heads and tags,
probably some tweaking of the lookup rules in dwim_ref; for
replacements, probably you would want to manually say "I am interested
in this replace" and copy or symref-link it into your refs/ hierarchy.
And probably something similar with notes.
Obviously I haven't thought it all the way through, but it just seems a
shame not to deal with other similar issues when looking at tags.
