The only main concern I have with "remote" is that it is very similar
but not exactly the same as "remotes". Unfortunately, it is not
possible in *every* circumstance to use remotes.
Personally, I'd prefer we used "refs/remote/<remote-name>/tags" rather
than "refs/remote/tags/<remote-name>", and possibly plan to migrate
from refs/remotes/<remote-name>/<branches> to
refs/remote/<remote-name>/heads/<branches>
This is mostly so that future additions of things like notes,
replaces, or really *any* refs would automatically drop into
"refs/remotes/<name>/<full remote ref name with refs prefix removed>",
which is a longer term goal I've had for a while (though i haven't
been able to put much time to it at present). Historically, I proposed
using "tracking" instead of "remote", but I am ok with any name we
choose as long as it doesn't create conflicts.
Thanks,
Jake
