Slurping very many (possibly unrelated) projects into one repository is
your choice (I wouldn't comment if it is a sane choice -- I do not have
time to ponder the pros and cons.  If it suits your needs, that's good
enough) If you do not want tags from some repositories but do want from
some others copied to that repository, per remote configuration feature is
exactly how it was designed to be used.
