Reading the man page it seems like it should pull all the remotes and all the tags and the commits only reachable by tags. Am I misreading this or it supposed to work this way. I don't mind doing two fetches to get everything, but the documentation needs to be a little clearer. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

This is what appears in the documentation we ship these days. -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. http://git-htmldocs.googlecode.com/git/git-fetch.html Previous discussion: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/180636 A more recent one: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/211439/focus=211464 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
