git-remote add: --no-tags/--tags which one is the default option
Hi,
git remote add has --no-tags/--tags option, but I can't find in the man page which one is the default.
Could anybody tell me the default option ?
Thanks.

So the default is neither --no-tags nor --tags ?

Thanks.
By default, only tags on fetched branches are imported. That is: When the fetch is done, all tags are imported that point to commits that are reachable from refs that you are fetching, in short: "tags on fetched branches". That is in between "none" (--no-tags) and "all" (--tags).

just my 2 cents, I would find easier to read it like this:
-----
By default, only tags on fetched branches are imported. This can be changed by the --tags and --no-tags options.
With --tags option, git fetch <name> imports every tag from the remote repository (including not reachable tags from fetched refs).
With --no-tags option, git fetch <name> does not import tags from the remote repository.

Thanks.

Neither is default. This option has three states, set, unset and default:
- unset (--no-tags) doesn't fetch any tags at all
- default (no option passed) will fetch any tags that are reachable from the refs that are being fetch
- set (--tags) will fetch all tags, even if they aren't reachable.
These options can also be set with the remote.<name>.tagopt config option, which takes values [--tags|--no-tags].
