[BUG] git fetch fetches tags matching negative refspec

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

Delete all v2.9.* tags
  git tag | grep ^v2.9.* | xargs git tag -d

Change standard the standard fetch configuration
[remote "origin"]
    url = git@github.com:git/git.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

By adding a negative respec for tags matching v2.9.*
[remote "origin"]
    url = git@github.com:git/git.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    fetch = ^refs/tags/v2.9.*

run
  git fetch

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

To exclude tags matchings v2.9*, just like when running git fetch --tags

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

Without specifying git fetch --tags, tags matching the negative refspec are still fetched

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

The negative refspec appears to be ignored or overruled when running git fetch without the --tags flag

Anything else you want to add: I love git, thank you! ♥
