This does not work in all cases. When I retrieve the latest kernel, it downloads the tags:

    cd /spare/repo/linux-2.6
    git pull

but when I pull those changes into another local repo, the tags do -not- follow the objects:

    cd /spare/repo/misc-2.6
    git checkout master
    git pull ../linux-2.6
    git fetch --tags ../linux-2.6    # still required to this day

I guess this is because /spare/repo/misc-2.6 does not have branches of /spare/repo/linux-2.6 configured as remote (tracking) branches.
