I was able to bisect down to this commit using Jonathan Tan's reproduction script: rm -rf test_tag_1 test_tag_2 GIT=~/git/bin-wrappers/git mkdir test_tag_1 && cd test_tag_1 REMOTE=$(pwd) $GIT init . touch foo.txt $GIT add foo.txt $GIT commit foo.txt -m "commit one" $GIT tag foo cd .. mkdir test_tag_2 && cd test_tag_2 $GIT init . echo fetch --tags $GIT fetch --tags "file://$REMOTE" echo regular fetch $GIT fetch "file://$REMOTE" 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' $GIT --version Prior to this change, the first `$GIT fetch --tags "file://$REMOTE"` fetches the `foo` tag; with this change, it does not.
