If I understand the solution correctly, it looks like it is not needed, if I’m OK with knowing which tags the remote had during the last fetch. Just like with commits: 'git log origin/master..’ can give me incorrect results if e.g. commits were rebased on the remote site. But we usually ignore such possibility as improbable. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
