SGT-448 Describe a scenario when tags are not automatically fetched by "git fetch" on the website

Issue is visible to: All Users

Sometimes, if SVN tag is created with changes or something is committed to /tags/tag, the following situation is possible (after translation to Git): a Git tag points to a commit that is not reachable from any Git branch. In this case "git fetch" on the client doesn't download such Git tag by default; "git fetch –tags" should be used instead (rather rare situation in Git, hence it could confuse).

So we could warn our users about this situation on our website or even better to propose recommended .git/config options that would help avoid confusion.
