Neither is default. This option has three states, set, unset and
default:

- unset (--no-tags) doesn't fetch any tags at all
- default (no option passed) will fetch any tags that are reachable from the refs that are
  being fetch
- set (--tags) will fetch all tags, even if they aren't reachable.

These options can also be set with the remote.<name>.tagopt config
option, which takes values [--tags|--no-tags].
