git fetch does not seem to handle refs/tags/* refspecs, at least no from bundles...
git>git bundle create /tmp/foo v1.5.2 <snip> git>git ls-remote /tmp/foo 8b1e5575ab18757272e86c5ec7a10411bbaa3662 refs/tags/v1.5.2 git>git tag -d v1.5.2 Deleted tag v1.5.2. git>git fetch /tmp/foo 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' * refusing to create funny ref 'tags/*' locally
Huh?
but... git>git fetch /tmp/foo 'refs/tags/v1.5.2:refs/tags/v1.5.2' * refs/tags/v1.5.2: storing tag 'v1.5.2' of /tmp/foo tag: 8b1e557
What's going on? This is a severe limitation of the utility of bundles to transmit tagged versions.
