Hi,

git-fetch -n does the opposite: "This option disables this automatic tag following." I guess you wanted to write git-fetch -t. git-push --tags will help you, but it's a 2 step push: one for the branches and one for the tags. I use .git/config to solve this:

[remote "origin"]
	url = ...
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	push = +refs/heads/*
	push = +refs/tags/*

With these lines added git-push origin will upload all your branches and tags. If you want to upload only some of them, you can enumerate them.
