I think it is enough just to disable tag following when you are promiscuously fetching. That is, do the tag following only if the main fetch is going to store a ref because it has tracking branch for the remote side. Otherwise the remote tags do not matter and if you really care about them you can ask with --tags. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
