Right.

Yeah.  I am not sure --tags-also is necessarily a good thing (I do
not think "fetch --tags" is a good thing, either).  If --follow-tags
does not touch lightweight ones, that may be a bug we would want to
fix.  I did not mean to implement --follow-tags that way, and I do
not offhand remember if there was a reason to omit lightweight ones.

Thanks.
