Hi
In the git fetch documentation it states that by default you will fetch all
tags that point into the history to the branches fetched.
"By default, any tag that points into the histories being fetched is also
fetched; the effect is to fetch tags that point at branches that you are
interested in. This default behavior can be changed by using the --tags or
--no-tags options or by configuring remote.<name>.tagOpt. By using a refspec
that fetches tags explicitly, you can fetch tags that do not point into
branches you are interested in as well."
But for me I get tags if I do "git fetch" or "git fetch origin" but if I do
"git fetch origin master" I don't get tags related to the master branch.
I understand that this might be due to me specifying a refspec and then it will
only get that exact refspec, but for me it's not that clear from the
documentation what I should expect. I read it as when I fetch something all
related tags will come along.
Using: git version 2.13.0.rc1.15.gd2bbb7c
