Hello Frans,

It would be great to be able to tell 'git remote' to skip tags and only 
fetch the requested branch. A --no-tags option maybe?

AFAIK this is currently not possible, although I'd happy to be proven 
wrong.

have a look at -n, --no-tags provided by git-fetch, ie.

$ git remote add ... foo ...
$ git fetch -n foo

And you can set remote.<name>.tagopt to --no-tags to make that the
default.
