Hi Geert > I've found what's wrong: while my repo has the > renesas-drivers-next-2016-11-22-v4.9-rc6 tag, and all objects pointed to by > it, it does not have a branch matching the tag. > > When doing "git remote update", git updates all branches first, followed by > importing all tags. Apparently git skips tags pointing to objects that do > not exist locally. If I import those objects in some other way first, "git > remote update" does import the tag. > > I've fixed this by pushing a branch called renesas-drivers-next, matching > the tag. Can you please give it a try? According to my local testing, it > should work: Thanks!! fetch / update seems work > git remote update --prune ...
