Hi all,

Sorry for the dumb question.  Hoping someone can lead me in the right  
direction.

I use git in a pretty basic setup.  One branch, I'm the only user,  
etc.  When I set up a tag (with a command like "git tag v1.1.6"), and  
then push the changes to the server, the tag doesn't remain when I  
clone the tree somewhere else.

Can anyone explain why, and possibly how to keep tags on a push/clone?

Thanks!

You need to push the tag to the server with:
  git push server tag v1.1.6

But you should make such takes annotated with "git tag -a" so they
are proper objects in their own right, rather than just refs pointing
at commits.
