I was gonna say, let's have a fixed tag name so that there are no
multiple tags with the same name, per chance, which would confuse. But
it seems that when you pull a tag, it remains a remote tag and doesn't
appear in your tree. Which would be silly because if it did, your tree
would be full of all those tags you're pulling.

It sometimes is kinda annoying in my repo here after I've added a bunch
of repos and fetch from them and all those tags from there appear
locally too and I wonder what those even are.

I had a hunch you would. :)

Right.

Thx.
