Hello, I have the following problem: I have 2 bare git repositories one has several branches and tags. If I try this in the second repository: git fetch -f ../main.git refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master I'm getting also tags from other branches, if I have an old object from one of the other branches. I would expect to have only tags pointing to master ref. (Although the man pages points to the behaviour regarding dangling objects). Is there a way to avoid this? I only find --no-tags which results in having no tags at all. Or need I git purge to remove the old objects first? My goal is to fetch only specific branches and the related tags.
