How do I force fetching of tags if I have the --no-tags option set

Question

Whenever I run git fetch it fetches all the tags from origin. In a project with lots of tags, this can get quite bothersome. So I ran git config remote.origin.tagopt --no-tags so fetching will no-longer fetch tags.

However, there are some times when I do want to fetch tags, or a single tag. Does anyone know how to do this? (besides removing that configuration, and running git fetch --no-tags every time)

Thanks!

To fetch a single tag, you can use git fetch <remote-name> tag <tag-name>.
