Yes, I think we do.

Only its not quite as clever as the HTTP/FTP commit walker first
needs to get a list of available refs (which includes tag and
tag^{}) and compares each obtained commit to the ^{} entries.
If there's a match it gets the tag.

And rsync being as dumb as it is should be fetching everything. :)
