Since
441ed41 ("git pull --tags": error out with a better message.,
2007-12-28), git pull --tags would print a different error message if
git-fetch did not return any merge candidates:
It doesn't make sense to pull all tags; you probably meant:
git fetch --tags
This is because at that time, git-fetch --tags would override any
configured refspecs, and thus there would be no merge candidates. The
error message was thus introduced to prevent confusion.
However, since
c5a84e9 (fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to*
other stuff, 2013-10-30), git fetch --tags would fetch tags in addition
to any configured refspecs. Hence, if any no merge candidates situation
occurs, it is not because --tags was set. As such, this special error
message is now irrelevant.
To prevent confusion, remove this error message.
