- By default, the git core utilities will not fetch and store
- tags under the same name as the remote repository; ask it
- to do so using `--tags`. Using this option will bound the
- list of objects pulled to the remote tags. Commits in branches
- beyond the tags will be ignored.
+ Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch
+ heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at
+ objects reachable from the branch heads that are being
+ tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This
+ flag lets all tags and their associated objects be
+ downloaded.
