I do not oppose that idea. I was just trying to point out that 'git fetch --tags' does not solve what Pasky wants to do -- in his ideal world, people track branches, and tags that refer to objects that are on those tracked branches are automatically fetched; at the same time tags irrelevant to the tracked branches are not fetched at all. 'git fetch --tags' would require the user to slurp in objects on branches she is not interested in.
