Strange push/clone errors

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to maintain an offline copy of the Git repo for our Sandbox environment at work and I just came across and oddity in the behavior I'd expect.

I have a repo on an Internet enabled machine that is a direct clone of the kernel.org version.

    $ git show remote origin
    * remote origin
      URL: http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
      Remote branch merged with 'git pull' while on branch master
        master
      Tracked remote branches
        html
        maint
        man
        master
        next
        pu
        todo

I then have a repo on a thumb drive that's initially a `clone --bare` of the repo on the Internet enabled machine. I added that as a remote on the previously mentioned repo.

    $ git remote show sandbox
    * remote sandbox
      URL: /cygdrive/f/Documents/git.git/
      Tracked remote branch
        master

When I do a `git push sandbox master` I get the following

    $ git push sandbox master
    Everything up-to-date

The problem is here. Now that I have a supposedly up to date copy on my thumb drive, I'd like to be able to push it out to a central server on our Sandbox network. However, when I do a git clone, tags are missing.

    $ git clone /cygdrive/f/Documents/git.git/
    Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tvishe01/Desktop/git/.git/
    Checking out files: 100% (1589/1589), done.

    $ cd git/

    $ git tag

    ...
    v1.6.1.3
    v1.6.2-rc0
    v1.6.2-rc1

Doing the same thing in the repo connected to kernel.org I get:

    $ git tag
    v1.6.1.3
    v1.6.2
    v1.6.2-rc0
    v1.6.2-rc1
    v1.6.2-rc2

As you can see, v1.6.2 and v1.6.2-rc2 are missing from the repo that I'm pushing to on my thumb drive, despite it claiming it's up to date.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!
