With a configuration entry like this: [remote "alt-git"] url = git://repo.or.cz/alt.git/git/ fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/alt-git/* tagopt = --no-tags you do not have to say "git pull --no-tags alt-git". Just saying "git pull alt-git" would suffice. Obviously, if you want to get the tag from such an alternate remote in a separate namespace, you could also do something like: [remote "alt-git"] url = git://repo.or.cz/alt.git/git/ fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/alt-git/* fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/remote-tags/alt-git/* tagopt = --no-tags Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@xxxxxxx> --- git-fetch.sh | 9 +++++++++ 1 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-fetch.sh b/git-fetch.sh index ca984e7..d230995 100755 --- a/git-fetch.sh +++ b/git-fetch.sh @@ -243,6 +243,15 @@ then orig_head=$(git-rev-parse --verify HEAD 2>/dev/null) fi +# Allow --notags from remote.$1.tagopt +case "$tags$no_tags" in +'') + case "$(git-config --get "remote.$1.tagopt")" in + --no-tags) + no_tags=t ;; + esac +esac + # If --tags (and later --heads or --all) is specified, then we are # not talking about defaults stored in Pull: line of remotes or # branches file, and just fetch those and refspecs explicitly given. - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
