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
