"git fetch --prune --tags" is currently interpreted as follows:
* "--tags" is equivalent to specifying a refspec
"refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*", and supersedes any default refspecs
configured via remote.$REMOTE.fetch.
* "--prune" only operates on the refspecs being fetched.
Therefore, "git fetch --prune --tags" prunes tags in refs/tags/* but
does not fetch or prune other references. The fact that this command
does not prune references outside of refs/tags/* was previously
untested. So add a test that verifies the status quo.
However, the status quo is surprising, so it will be changed later in
this patch series.
