Re: fetch --no-tags with and w/o --all

Hello

$ git --version
git version 1.7.10.4

$ git fetch origin --no-tags
does what it says

$ git fetch --all --no-tags
still gets all the tags from the remote.

Is this known?

Because --all (or --multiple) to iterate through all remotes
does not pass accept any command line refspecs, using these options
with --no-tags and/or --tags should be diagnosed as an error, but it
appears that the error checking is not done.
