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?

Hi,
git fetch --tags linux-next
Will only fetch the tags not changed files content/data.
To fetch file changes
git fetch linux-next
Is required.

that suggests that the man page is slightly misleading, given that
it clearly states that "--tags" will fetch tags, "in addition to
whatever else would otherwise be fetched." or is there a different way
to read that phrase?

It seems to work as described in the manpage for me:
snits at cantor:~/dev/linux=>git fetch -t linus
