Unfortunately, there's currently no way to tell "git fetch" to
download whatever your configuration files specify as default, but you
can at least be explicit by using what's called a "refspec" (which is
documented in "git help fetch"):

  git fetch --tags origin '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'

You could probably get your hands on the default refspec by rigging
something up with "git symbolic-ref" and "git config", but that's so
much hassle; currently, it is probably best just to run "git fetch"
twice.

Sincerely,
Michael Witten
