docs: Use the explicit ref for fetchGit with a tag
With the merge of #2582, the syntax "tags/1.9" for refs does not work
anymore.
However, the new syntax "refs/tags/1.9" seems to support annotated tags,
such as "refs/tags/2.0".

Closes #2385.

(cherry picked from commit ae244af242ca3621e5a3b9196f27d9fcbf297266)
