any show up.\n"},{"id":"245028","messageId":"874mz76281.fsf@igel.home","threadId":"37002","inReplyTo":"CAJo=hJvdMURuaEZA3XEWE_Uuq8QRZ+mt8K2H8XrbTuZsVX9gKQ@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Is it possible

tags to\na separate namespace.\n\nAndreas.\n\n-- \nAndreas Schwab, schwab@linux-m68k.org\nGPG Key fingerprint = 58CA 54C7 6D53 942B 1756 01D3 44D5 214B 8276 4ED5\n\"And now for something completely

local\" operation\nanymore, no?\n"},{"id":"245038","messageId":"5968CD7E-9E90-422C-B4F7-C0151FDEB1B4@jetbrains.com","threadId":"37002","inReplyTo":"xmqqlhsj4hmq.fsf@gitster.dls.corp.google.com","subject":"Re: Is it possible to

is not needed, if I’m OK with knowing which tags the remote had during the last fetch. \n\nJust like with commits: 'git log origin/master..’ can give me incorrect results if e.g. commits were rebased on the remote site. But we usually ignore such possibility as improbable.\n"},{"id":"245054","messageId":"87pphu23zt.fsf@igel.home","threadId":"37002","inReplyTo":"xmqqlhsj4hmq.fsf@gitster.dls.corp.google.com","subject":"Re: Is it possible to list unpushed tags without accessing remote?","fromName":"Andreas Schwab","fromEmail":"schwab@linux-m68k.org","sentAt":"2014-06-27T07:41:58Z","receivedAt":"2014-06-27T07:41:58Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"schwab@linux-m68k.org","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2175493?v=4"},"body":"Junio C Hamano writes:\n\n> But then in order to learn what tags the remote has, you need to\n> talk to the remote and it won't be \"complately a local\" operation\n> anymore, no?\n\nJust like for every other remote ref. If you need to know the\nultimative truth the only way is to ask the remote. Your local copy is\njust a cache that may be outdated any time.\n\nAndreas.\n\n-- \nAndreas Schwab, schwab@linux-m68k.org\nGPG Key fingerprint = 58CA 54C7 6D53 942B 1756 01D3 44D5 214B 8276 4ED5\n\"And now for something completely different.\"\n"}]}
