Because a tag ref cannot be put to HEAD, HEAD will become detached.
This is consistent with "git checkout <tag>".
This is mostly useful in shallow clone, where it allows you to clone a
tag in addtion to branches.

It's possible that users make a typo in the branch name. Stop and let
users recheck. Falling back to remote's HEAD is not documented any
way.
Except when using remote helper, the pack has not been transferred at
this stage yet so we don't waste much bandwidth.

If we don't write, HEAD is still at refs/heads/master as initialized
by init-db, which may or may not match remote's HEAD.

When --single-branch is given, only one branch, either HEAD or one
specified by --branch, will be fetched. Also only tags that point to
the downloaded history are fetched.
This helps most in shallow clones, where it can reduce the download to
minimum and that is why it is enabled by default when --depth is given.

git-repo if interupted at the exact wrong time will generate zero
length bundles- literal empty files. git-repo is wrong here, but
git fetch shouldn't effectively spin loop if pointed at a zero
length bundle.

The depot path is required, even with this option. Make sure
git-p4 fails and exits with non-zero.
Contents in the specified depot path will be rearranged according
to the client spec. Test this and add a note in the docs.
Leave an XXX suggesting that this is somewhat confusing behavior
that might be good to fix later.
Function stripRepoPath() looks at self.useClientSpec. Make sure
this is set both for command-line option --use-client-spec and
for configuration variable git-p4.useClientSpec. Test this.

Document how git-p4 currently works when specifying multiple
depot paths:
1. No branches or directories are named.
2. Conflicting files are silently ignored---the last change
wins.
2. Option --destination is required, else the last path is construed
to be a directory.
3. Revision specifiers must be the same on all paths for them to
take effect.
Test this behavior.

The whole point of the recent update to allow "git pull $url $tagname" is
so that the integrator does not have to store the (signed) tag that is
used to convey authenticity to be recorded in the resulting merge in the
local repository's tag namespace. Asking for a merge be made with "git
pull $url tag $tagname" defeats it.
Note that the request can become ambiguous if the requestor has a branch
with the same name as the tag, but that is not a new problem limited to
pulling. I wouldn't mind if somebody wants to add disambiguation to the
find_matching_ref logic in the script as a separate patch, though.
