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.

Or we could just pass them through. Looks like this was already fixed by
8556646 (fetch --all: pass --tags/--no-tags through to each remote,
2012-09-05), which is in v1.7.12.2 and higher.
