 2. If we continue to follow the "are we storing any refs" rule for the
    default, possibly it should expand to "did we store anything,
    including opportunistic tracking-ref updates".
Personally I think that I would prefer to always fetch relevant tags.
If I don't want tags I can simply use the "--no-tags"
I think it's a bit more complex because "git pull" uses "git fetch"
under the hood. In fact, your "git fetch origin master" is exactly what
gets run when you do:

  git pull origin master

That's maybe OK. But I think one-off pulls like:

  git pull https://example.com/repo.git master

probably wouldn't want it. I'd have to give it some thought.
