I just noticed the same with stable-2.6.19.y.git (and all others), like >From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.19.y * [new branch] master -> stable19/master * [new tag] v2.6.19.7 -> v2.6.19.7 >From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.19.y * [new tag] v2.6.19.1 -> v2.6.19.1 * [new tag] v2.6.19.2 -> v2.6.19.2 * [new tag] v2.6.19.3 -> v2.6.19.3 * [new tag] v2.6.19.4 -> v2.6.19.4 * [new tag] v2.6.19.5 -> v2.6.19.5 * [new tag] v2.6.19.6 -> v2.6.19.6 And my suspicion is that v2.6.19.1--v2.6.19.6 have been repacked into packed-refs, and v2.6.19.7 has been added later and is a loose tag (as is the master branch). So the packed-refs (with less recent history) are fetched later, which conflicts with the output from Linus's repo where I get the (possibly packed) tags first, in chronological order. -- 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
