It doesn't always fetch tags only when "--no-tags" is missing. Sometimes it refrains from fetching tags even when "--no-tags" is missing. $ mkdir test1 && cd test1 && git init && echo : > file1 && git add file1 && git commit -m 'Commit1' file1 && git tag -m 'CommitTag1' tag1 && cd .. && mkdir test2 && cd test2 && git init && git fetch ../test1 master && git branch master FETCH_HEAD && cd ../test1 && echo -n 'Test1: ' && git tag -n -l && cd ../test2 && echo -n 'Test2: ' && git tag -n -l | grep '' || echo 'NO TAGS' Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ Created initial commit 0f701fc: Commit1 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 file1 Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ warning: no common commits remote: Counting objects: 3, done. remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.

Manage software of course! What a silly question. Kidding aside.
