It's getting a bit of a nuisance to do a separate rsync to get them right.

I got the impression that the latest git was supposed to do that automatically with a git pull.

The barebone Porcelainish shipped with git-core does not fetch and store tags unconditionally under the same name as the remote has without being told; you need to explicitly tell it to 'git fetch --tags'. What was added recently was a low level support for Cogito to implement the automatic tracking. This is supposed to (I do not offhand know if the Cogito side has been updated to do so already) work a bit differently. Instead of grabbing all tags and all objects reachable from them, as you fetch commits from the remote, the automatic tracking fetches tags that point at them. What this means is that the tags on the remote branch you are tracking would be fetched automatically but tags on a remote branch you are not interested in are not. ``` ## Erik Mouw, 2005-11-07 10:44 Subject: Re: Tags not transferred with git pull?
