NAME
----
-git-fetch - Download objects and a head from another repository.
+git-fetch - Download objects and refs from another repository
SYNOPSIS
The ref names and their object names of fetched refs are stored
in `.git/FETCH_HEAD`. This information is left for a later merge
-operation done by "git resolve" or "git octopus".
+operation done by "git merge".
+
+When <refspec> stores the fetched result in 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.
