This is too ugly for the common existing cases.  For the rare case where
this could lead to a namespace conflict[1], it's possible to work around
it by editing .git/config.

I would accept a --tags-prefix= and --branches-prefix= patch to make
this possible w/o having to edit .git/config, but I don't want the
default prefixes changed.

Thanks,

[1] - "/branches/trunk" vs "/trunk", which I've yet to see evidence of...
