If I understand the solution correctly, it looks like it is not needed, if I’m OK with knowing which tags the remote had during the last fetch. 
Just like with commits: 'git log origin/master..’ can give me incorrect results if e.g. commits were rebased on the remote site. But we usually ignore such possibility as improbable.
