git fetch refs and tags

From: Jan Weitzel <hidden>

Hello,
I have the following problem: I have 2 bare git repositories one has
several branches and tags.
If I try this in the second repository:
git fetch -f ../main.git refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master 
I'm getting also tags from other branches, if I have an old object from
one of the other branches.
I would expect to have only tags pointing to master ref. (Although the
man pages points to the behaviour regarding dangling objects). Is there
a way to avoid this? I only find --no-tags which results in having no
tags at all. Or need I git purge to remove the old objects first?
My goal is to fetch only specific branches and the related tags.
