ok, so you could run
   git ls-remote
in your shell, and look at that.

You need to test, if it works with tags too (my 3 step solution did).

depth=1

Only when you update, then you do get history.

with my "fetch" solution

git init .
git fetch --depth=1 
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus.git 
refs/tags/lazarus_2_2_0_RC1
git switch -c my-branch FETCH_HEAD

you can then later do (may download entire 2.2.0, NOT just the diffs / 
if you are lucky it will reuse some of your local existing data / I 
don't know the internals well enough)

git fetch --depth=1 
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus.git 
refs/tags/lazarus_2_2_0
git switch -c my-NEW-branch FETCH_HEAD
git branch -d my-branch
git reflog expire --expire=now --all
git gc --prune=now --aggressive

And then you should have just the new branch, and all old data gone. But 
you temp have both.
(git switch takes -f to overwrite changed file / there also is a merge 
option instead)

Afaik You only can get rid of the old data, once you switched to the 
new. So for a brief moment you do have both.

Or you delete the entire dir, and start from scratch.
