Either you're wrong or there's a bug in git-fetch.

I think you're missing the call to git-ls-remote --tags to get the list of tags (which we will then auto-follow if necessary). So in that case, there would actually be 3 ssh connections. If everything is up to date, we still make 2 connections (one to check refs from remotes file, and one to check remote tag list).
