The command produces warnings of the type: cp: cannot create link `.git/refs/tags/git-pasky-0.6.2': Invalid cross-device link `/home/miguel/bin/cogito/.git/refs/tags/git-pasky-0.6.3' -> `.git/refs/tags/git-pasky-0.6.3' I think the culprit is the "l" flag passed to cp in fetch-local() in script cg-pull. After thinking a bit on how to solve this, I decided on a "blunt force" approach, where the cp is done twice, once with "l" and once without it. Only when both fail is a warning issued about the failure to get the tag list. This has the unfortunate side effect of also removing the "u" flag to cp, but I don't think it's a big deal (cg-pull adds the "l" and "u" flags at the same time). Following is the output of cg-mkpatch: --- Currently, cg-clone fails to clone the tag list if the destination and source directory are in different filesystem. This caused by the "l" flag used by fetch_local. This patch tries the copy without the "l" flag if it fails with it.
