49 By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded

55 Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch
56 heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at
57 objects reachable from the branch heads that are being
58 tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This
59 flag lets all tags and their associated objects be
60 downloaded.

0b444cdb 64 By default 'git fetch' refuses to update the head which
93d69d86 65 corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the

66 check. This is purely for the internal use for 'git pull'
