git fetch with refspec does not include tags?

Hi​

In the git fetch documentation it states that by default you will fetch all tags that point into the history to the branches fetched.

"By default, any tag that points into the histories being fetched is also fetched; the effect is to fetch tags that point  at branches that you are interested in. This default behavior can be changed by using the --tags or --no-tags options or by configuring remote.<name>.tagOpt. By using a refspec that fetches tags explicitly, you can fetch tags that do not point into branches  you are interested in as well."

But for me I get tags if I do "git fetch" or "git fetch origin" but if I do "git fetch origin master" I don't get tags related to the master branch.

I understand that this might be due to me specifying a refspec and then it will only get that exact refspec, but for me it's not that clear from the documentation what I should expect. I read it as when I fetch something all related tags will come along.

Using: git version 2.13.0.rc1.15.gd2bbb7c
