16 | Fetches named heads or tags from another repository, along with |
17 | the objects necessary to complete them. | |
18 | ||
19 | The ref names and their object names of fetched refs are stored | |
93d69d86 | 20 | in `.git/FETCH_HEAD`. This information is left for a later merge |
9688a882 | 21 | operation done by "git merge". |

23 | When <refspec> stores the fetched result in tracking branches, |
24 | the tags that point at these branches are automatically | |
25 | followed. This is done by first fetching from the remote using | |
26 | the given <refspec>s, and if the repository has objects that are | |
27 | pointed by remote tags that it does not yet have, then fetch | |
28 | those missing tags. If the other end has tags that point at | |
29 | branches you are not interested in, you will not get them. | |
