Thanks John. I'll need to test if that's persistent, or that I'll have
to remember to specify it with each fetch. I guess the option is also 
recognized by 'git remote update'?

Ahh. I've just found 'remote.<name>.tagopt' in 'man git-config'.
I still think it would be nice if that could be set with an option for
'git remote add'. That would make life so much simpler :-)

Cheers,
