I don't think we can do that in this patch right now. This topic branches off from c3808ca69 (preparing for 2.10.3, 2016-12-05), I assume because, as a bugfix, it will be included in maintenance releases for older releases, and those won't have the '--no-tags' option. Perhaps as a follow-up, only on master.
