Because your refspec doesn't include refs/tags/*:, try e.g.: git fetch https://github.com/git/git.git 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' --no-tags --dry-run That's what "--no-tags", i.e. it's per-se (and confusingly) nothing to do with whether you get tags or not, it's to do with whether we to tag following. > I'm going to set > git config remote.origin.tagopt --tags > and then that's going to do what I want.
