Actually fetching of branches on remote into remote-tracking branches
would also fetch all tags that point to commits on fetched branches
(so called "autofollow" feature).
If you want to fetch _all_ tags, you need to configure fetched
branches (e.g. via glob refspec). I think that then "tagopt = --tags"
works as expected then, as it is in addition to refspec not as the
only refspec; "fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" should work as well.
