This information is left for a later merge +operation done by "git merge". + +When <refspec> stores the fetched result in tracking branches, +the tags that point at these branches are automatically +followed. This is done by first fetching from the remote using +the given <refspec>s, and if the repository has objects that are +pointed by remote tags that it does not yet have, then fetch +those missing tags. If the other end has tags that point at +branches you are not interested in, you will not get them. + + +OPTIONS +------- +include::fetch-options.txt[] + +include::pull-fetch-param.txt[] + +include::urls.txt[] + +SEE ALSO +-------- +gitlink:git-pull[1] + + +Author +------ +Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> and +Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> + +Documentation +------------- +Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite |
