Description
import os
import pygit2
source = pygit2.Repository("pygit2")
dest = pygit2.init_repository("dest", bare=True)
remote = dest.remotes.create_anonymous(f'file://{os.path.abspath("pygit2")}')
remote.fetch(depth=1, refspecs=[f"refs/tags/v1.15.1:refs/tags/v1.15.1"])
# now if you 'git log v1.15.1' in ./dest you'll see many commits, not just one
ping @nikitalita
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by running the reproduction using pygit2.Repository, init_repository, create_anonymous, and remote.fetch(depth=1, refspecs=...) against the file remote. Inspect the fetch path handling anonymous remotes and verify the result with git log v1.15.1 in the destination repository; done means the fetched tag contains only the requested shallow history.
