This option has three states, set, unset and\ndefault:\n\n- unset (--no-tags) doesn't fetch any tags at all\n- default (no option passed) will fetch any tags that are reachable from the refs that are\n being fetch\n- set (--tags) will fetch all tags, even if they aren't reachable.\n\nThese options can also be set with the remote..tagopt config\noption, which takes values [--tags|--no-tags].\n\nKevin\n"}]}
