You can set the branch for your remote to master (or do it when you clone)
which should ignore other branches:
git remote set-branches upstream master

Then optionally configure --no-tags in your git config (or use --no-tags
each time you git-fetch):
git config --add remote.upstream.tagOpt --no-tags

Then try fetching to verify it worked:
git fetch upstream [--dry-run]

It doesn't, but by default a `git fetch` pulls down all new work that
exists on the remote, but not your local clone.
