By default, "git fetch --tags" would store the tags in a flat namespace; there is no "remote tag" namespace. Hence you would say: git checkout v2.6.19 to get a detached HEAD at v2.6.19, or if you want to start a branch from there, git checkout -b my19 v2.6.19 - 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
