just my 2 cents, I would find easier to read it like this:

-----
By default, only tags on fetched branches are imported. This can be
changed by the --tags and --no-tags options.

With `--tags` option, `git fetch <name>` imports every tag from the
remote repository (including not reachable tags from fetched refs).

With `--no-tags` option, `git fetch <name>` does not import tags from
the remote repository.
