Description
(I was under the impression that this plugin supports wildcard tag releases properly, so correct me if I am wrong.)
`:PlugUpdate` seems won't fetch latest tags when the plugin has property of wildcard tag.
With this minimal vimrc
```
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'autozimu/plug-wildcard', {'tag': 'release-*'}
call plug#end()
```
1. Run `:PlugInstall`. This will install the plugin properly.
2. Make a newer release in the repo, say `release-0.2`. The tag is slightly irregular. It works like this
```sh
# make changes
git commit -m 'new release'
git push --tags
```
(Note at this point, only tags are pushed. Current branch HEAD is not pushed.)
3. Run `:PlugUpdate`.
At this point, the plugin is not updated, while it is expected to update to `release-0.2`.
