23 fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`. This option
32 By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded
33 from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally.
34 This option disables this automatic tag following.
37 Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch
38 heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at
39 objects reachable from the branch heads that are being
40 tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This
41 flag lets all tags and their associated objects be

50 check. This is purely for the internal use for `git-pull`
51 to communicate with `git-fetch`, and unless you are
