It creates the master branch. This is what I'm trying to avoid.

Bingo. It's ugly but it works. Problem solved :-).

The explanation makes a kind of sense, but if someone want to avoid
polluting the tags when fetching into FETCH_HEAD one could get it with
--no-tags. So this is more of a misguided attempt to get a seemingly
sensible default while destroying a consistent behaviour.
Sometimes I can see why people say git is confusing ;-).
