Hi! I have two remotes with different tags, so when I use "git fetch" it removes the tag from the other remote and add tag from the origin remote. So I tried to use "git fetch --no-tags" to prevent this behavior and I have no use for those tags locally. The problem is it works for the origin remote but when I fetch the other remote with "git fetch --no-tags other" it fetch tags. The same happen when fetching a group or with "git fetch --all --no-tags". I have tried to set the "remote.<remote>.tagOpt = --no-tags" option in git config with no difference in behavior.

Is there a way to force tags not to be updated at all with "git fetch --all" in this case?

(git version 2.22.0.windows.1 and git version 2.18.0.windows.1) Regards, Baptiste
