operation done by 'git merge'.
-When <refspec> stores the fetched result in remote-tracking branches,
-the tags that point at these branches are automatically
-followed. This is done by first fetching from the remote using
-the given <refspec>s, and if the repository has objects that are
-pointed by remote tags that it does not yet have, then fetch
-those missing tags. If the other end has tags that point at
-branches you are not interested in, you will not get them.
+By default, tags are auto-followed. This means that when fetching
+from a remote, any tags on the remote that point to objects that exist
+in the local repository are fetched. The effect is to fetch tags that
+point at branches that you are interested in. This default behavior
+can be changed by using the --tags or --no-tags options, by
+configuring remote.<name>.tagopt, or by using a refspec that fetches
+tags explicitly.
'git fetch' can fetch from either a single named repository,
or from several repositories at once if <group> is given and
