Subject: working with linux-next ... must tags be fetched separately?

  perusing the current instructions on how to work with linux-next
here:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/linux-next.html

and i'm puzzled by this part of the instructions:

 Fetch linux-next plus tags

    $ git fetch linux-next
    ...
    $ git fetch --tags linux-next
    ...

is it really necessary to run two separate fetch commands? from the
man page for git-fetch, one reads:

       -t, --tags
           Fetch all tags from the remote (i.e., fetch remote tags refs/tags/* into local tags with
           the same name), in addition to whatever else would otherwise be fetched.

so would it not be sufficient to run simply:

    $ git fetch --tags linux-next

or am i misreading something?
