Unfortunately, tags do\nnot enjoy such a separation. When I use\n       git read-tree -prefix=libfoo/ -u remotes/foo/master\nremote tags suddenly populate my local tag space.  v1.0 comes from my\nproject while v1.1 comes from foo.\n\nWhen using subtree merges is it possible to create a \"remotes\"\nnamespace for tags?\nSomething like --tagprefix option for git-read-tree or any better solution?\n\n--Leo--\n"}]}
