Comment from a new user:
 
The git-pull man pages imply that "git pull -n" and "git pull --no-tags"
are the same, but -n seems to do something different entirely (same with
git fetch). I found this in msysgit but the msysgit boys say that it's
actually a problem with core git.
 
If -n is intended to be different from --no-tags than can you update the
documentation please?
 
Regards,
Anthony
