Luck, Tony 4d16f8de16 Update pull/fetch --tags documentation
When fetching/pulling from a remote repository the "--tags" option
can be used to pull tags too.  Document that it will limit the pull
to only commits reachable from the tags.

-a, \--append::
Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the
existing contents of `.git/FETCH_HEAD`. Without this
option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten.
-f, \--force::
-t, \--tags::
By default, the git core utilities will not fetch and store
tags under the same name as the remote repository; ask it
to do so using `--tags`. Using this option will bound the
list of objects pulled to the remote tags. Commits in branches
beyond the tags will be ignored.
-u, \--update-head-ok::
By default `git-fetch` refuses to update the head which
corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the
check. Note that fetching into the current branch will not
update the index and working directory, so use it with care.
