Currently, the paragraph corresponding to the --tags option in git-fetch(1) looks like:

  -t, --tags
      This is a short-hand for giving "refs/tags/:refs/tags/" refspec
                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^
						 this is in bold

This happens because the corresponding text in fetch-options.txt is "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*"; asciidoc renders the text between the two asterisks in bold. Escape the first asterisk, correcting the text.
