[PATCH v2 10/10] fetch: stop clobbering existing tags without --force

Change "fetch" to treat "+" in refspecs (aka --force) to mean we should clobber a local tag of the same name. This changes the long-standing behavior of "fetch" added in 853a3697dc ("[PATCH] Multi-head fetch.", 2005-08-20), before this change all tag fetches effectively had --force enabled. See
