When running git pull with the -t switch, it properly fetches tags, but
complains about missing information on how to merge.  Since there's
nothing to merge, make git-pull simply exit after fetching the tags.

I've seen this patch on this list in the past, but isn't "git
pull -t" a user-error?

If so, we shouldn't advertise the -t switch in the git-pull(1) manpage.
As it stands, I'd understand 'git pull -t' as 'fetch _all_ tags and
branch heads and merge according to the configuration'.
