So instead of this:

$ git fetch origin master

try this:

 $ git fetch origin

It creates the master branch. This is what I'm trying to avoid.

or even this:

 $ git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master

Bingo. It's ugly but it works. Problem solved :-).

There's more discussion in this thread (but it looks like no patches
ever came out of it):

The explanation makes a kind of sense, but if someone want to avoid polluting the tags when fetching into FETCH_HEAD one could get it with --no-tags. So this is more of a misguided attempt to get a seemingly sensible default while destroying a consistent behaviour.

Sometimes I can see why people say git is confusing ;-).
