Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.
What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
Delete all v2.9.* tags
git tag | grep ^v2.9.* | xargs git tag -d
Change standard the standard fetch configuration
[remote "origin"]
url = git@xxxxxxxxxx:git/git.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
By adding a negative respec for tags matching v2.9.*
[remote "origin"]
url = git@xxxxxxxxxx:git/git.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
fetch = ^refs/tags/v2.9.*
run
git fetch
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
To exclude tags matchings v2.9*, just like when running git fetch --tags
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
Without specifying git fetch --tags, tags matching the negative
refspec are still fetched
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
The negative refspec appears to be ignored or overruled when running
git fetch without the --tags flag
