It seems that cg-push in cogito 0.16.2 doesn't push new tags when used over git+ssh transport? Am I completely wet behind the ears, or is that a bug?
In particular, it seems to manifest itself when the *only* thing that has changed is tags.

List the tags you want pushed.
The git transport (whether over ssh or locally) will default to updating only _shared_ references. So any heads that you have updated it will update by default. But if you want to create a new branch or tag on the other end, you need to list it explicitly (and once you do, it won't do the default ones at all).
Now, "git fetch" has a "--tags" argument that is shorthand for "all tags", and I think we should add that to "git send-pack" too just because it's both a common operation _and_ it mirrors "git fetch". But in the meantime you can hack around it with something like
git send-pack <destination> $(cd .git/refs/ ; echo tags/*)
which is a silly way to list all tags ;)

Actually, I guess it should use "find tags/ -type f" or something like that instead of "echo tags/*". Otherwise you don't get tags with slashes right.
