I have a fairly large git tree (with a 320MB pack file containing some
700,000 objects).  A small fetch like

  git fetch git://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/\
       linux-2.6.16.y.git master:v2.6.16-stable

which only fetches a handful of objects (v2.6.16.17 -> v2.6.16.18) will
take on the order of 4-5 minutes.  Adding the "-n" option is will bring
the operation down to under a second, so it really is just the tags
that are slowing things down so much..
