Another year, another update! :)
The kernel hacker's guide to git has received some updates:
http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html
It says
"""Don't forget to download tags from time to time.
git pull only downloads sha1-indexed object data, and the requested
remote head. This misses updates to the .git/refs/tags/ and
.git/refs/heads/ directories. For tags, run git fetch --tags $URL."""
But when I do git pull on a simple tracking tree (e.g. git-clone
torvalds/linux-2.6.git; git pull;) it automatically grabs new tags.
Unfortunately tags are not copied in all cases. To this day, I still
have to 'git fetch --tags', generally when pulling from one local repo
into another. It's annoying that tags don't follow objects, when pulled.
