It looks like github has very recently become more strict about what
kind of objects they allow clients to fetch. It will now only allow
fetching objects that are actually present in the refs list and that are
unpeeled. bzr-git would previously never fetch tag objects, since they
can't be used in bzr (we have tags, but not annotated tags).

I'm committing a fix to bzr-git trunk.
