Dear Git community,
i think there may be a bug in the fetch command: The command
> $ git fetch --all --tags
> Fetching origin
doesn’t fetch new commits from origin/master, while i see via the web browser of my remote repository that they exist. The same with verbose:
> $ git fetch --all --tags --verbose
> Fetching origin
> From git://repo.or.cz/wortliste

Only if i omit the --tags commit, fetch does what i expect:
> $ git fetch --all --verbose
> Fetching origin
> remote: Counting objects: 13, done.
> remote: Compressing objects: 100% (8/8), done.
> remote: Total 8 (delta 5), reused 0 (delta 0)
> Unpacking objects: 100% (8/8), done.

I think this may be a bug; i’m using my git alias fa = fetch --all --tags --verbose quite often, and it worked in previous versions of Git.
Finnally, i’m using Git 1.8.0.3 under Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS x86_64 via this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa
Thank you for your time reading this and of cause a happy new year!
With best greetings,
Dennis Heidsiek

The "--all" option asks to fetch from all remotes, and "--tags"
option asks to disable the configured fetch refspecs and instead
grab only the tags. It appears that what you observed is exactly
what should happen and in line with the documentation:
$ git help fetch | sed -ne '/^ .*-t.*--tags/,/^$/p'
-t, --tags
This is a short-hand for giving "refs/tags/:refs/tags/" refspec
from the command line, to ask all tags to be fetched and stored
locally. Because this acts as an explicit refspec, the default
refspecs (configured with the remote.$name.fetch variable) are
overridden and not used.
