In first page of git-fetch(1):

When stores the fetched result in tracking branches, the tags
that point at these branches are automatically followed. This is done by
first fetching from the remote using the given s, and if the
repository has objects that are pointed by remote tags that it does not yet
have, then fetch those missing tags. If the other end has tags that point
at branches you are not interested in, you will not get them.

You push tags explicitly (using "tag " refspec, or specifying
--tags, --all or --mirror, or setting it up in a config) in git.

It is half-versioned... :-X From what I remember of discussion on
#revctrl and reading hgbok it is treated in special way: if you
switch branches or rewind to some older version, .hgtags is always
checked out the most recent version.

I don't know how Mercurial deals with situation where one reposityr
added one tag, and other repository add other...
