Merge branch 'ab/fetch-tags-noclobber'

The rules used by "git push" and "git fetch" to determine if a ref
can or cannot be updated were inconsistent; specifically, fetching
to update existing tags were allowed even though tags are supposed
to be unmoving anchoring points.  "git fetch" was taught to forbid
updates to existing tags without the "--force" option.

* ab/fetch-tags-noclobber:
  fetch: stop clobbering existing tags without --force
  fetch: document local ref updates with/without --force
  push doc: correct lies about how push refspecs work
  push doc: move mention of "tag <tag>" later in the prose
  push doc: remove confusing mention of remote merger
  fetch tests: add a test for clobbering tag behavior
  push tests: use spaces in interpolated string
  push tests: make use of unused $1 in test description
  fetch: change "branch" to "reference" in --force -h output

`:<dst>` means to update the same ref as the `<src>`.
+
The object referenced by <src> is used to update the <dst> reference
on the remote side. By default this is only allowed if <dst> is not
a tag (annotated or lightweight), and then only if it can fast-forward
<dst>. By having the optional leading `+`, you can tell Git to update
the <dst> ref even if it is not allowed by default (e.g., it is not a
fast-forward.) This does *not* attempt to merge <src> into <dst>. See
EXAMPLES below for details.
on the remote side. Whether this is allowed depends on where in
`refs/*` the <dst> reference lives as described in detail below, in
those sections "update" means any modifications except deletes, which
as noted after the next few sections are treated differently.
+
`tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.
The `refs/heads/*` namespace will only accept commit objects, and
updates only if they can be fast-forwarded.
+
Pushing an empty <src> allows you to delete the <dst> ref from
the remote repository.
The `refs/tags/*` namespace will accept any kind of object (as
commits, trees and blobs can be tagged), and any updates to them will
be rejected.
+
It's possible to push any type of object to any namespace outside of
`refs/{tags,heads}/*`. In the case of tags and commits, these will be
treated as if they were the commits inside `refs/heads/*` for the
purposes of whether the update is allowed.
+
I.e. a fast-forward of commits and tags outside `refs/{tags,heads}/*`
is allowed, even in cases where what's being fast-forwarded is not a
commit, but a tag object which happens to point to a new commit which
is a fast-forward of the commit the last tag (or commit) it's
replacing. Replacing a tag with an entirely different tag is also
allowed, if it points to the same commit, as well as pushing a peeled
tag, i.e. pushing the commit that existing tag object points to, or a
new tag object which an existing commit points to.
+
Tree and blob objects outside of `refs/{tags,heads}/*` will be treated
the same way as if they were inside `refs/tags/*`, any update of them
will be rejected.
+
All of the rules described above about what's not allowed as an update
can be overridden by adding an the optional leading `+` to a refspec
(or using `--force` command line option). The only exception to this
is that no amount of forcing will make the `refs/heads/*` namespace
accept a non-commit object. Hooks and configuration can also override
or amend these rules, see e.g. `receive.denyNonFastForwards` in
linkgit:git-config[1] and`pre-receive` and `update` in
linkgit:githooks[5].
+
Pushing an empty <src> allows you to delete the <dst> ref from the
remote repository. Deletions are always accepted without a leading `+`
in the refspec (or `--force`), except when forbidden by configuration
or hooks. See `receive.denyDeletes` in linkgit:git-config[1] and
`pre-receive` and `update` in linkgit:githooks[5].
+
The special refspec `:` (or `+:` to allow non-fast-forward updates)
directs Git to push "matching" branches: for every branch that exists on
the local side, the remote side is updated if a branch of the same name
already exists on the remote side.

`tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.

is fetched, and if <dst> is not an empty string, an attempt
is made to update the local ref that matches it.
+
Whether that update is allowed without `--force` depends on the ref
namespace it's being fetched to, the type of object being fetched, and
whether the update is considered to be a fast-forward. Generally, the
same rules apply for fetching as when pushing, see the `<refspec>...`
section of linkgit:git-push[1] for what those are. Exceptions to those
rules particular to 'git fetch' are noted below.
+
Until Git version 2.20, and unlike when pushing with
linkgit:git-push[1], any updates to `refs/tags/*` would be accepted
without `+` in the refspec (or `--force`). The receiving promiscuously
considered all tag updates from a remote to be forced fetches. Since
Git version 2.20, fetching to update `refs/tags/*` work the same way
as when pushing. I.e. any updates will be rejected without `+` in the
refspec (or `--force`).
+
Unlike when pushing with linkgit:git-push[1], any updates outside of
`refs/{tags,heads}/*` will be accepted without `+` in the refspec (or
`--force`), whether that's swapping e.g. a tree object for a blob, or
a commit for another commit that's doesn't have the previous commit as
an ancestor etc.
+
Unlike when pushing with linkgit:git-push[1], there is no
configuration which'll amend these rules, and nothing like a
`pre-fetch` hook analogous to the `pre-receive` hook.
+
As with pushing with linkgit:git-push[1], all of the rules described
above about what's not allowed as an update can be overridden by
adding an the optional leading `+` to a refspec (or using `--force`
command line option). The only exception to this is that no amount of
forcing will make the `refs/heads/*` namespace accept a non-commit
object.
