Subject: Is it possible to list unpushed tags without accessing remote?
Kirill LikhodedovHi,
is it possible to know which tags are not yet pushed to a remote via a completely local command?
(e.g. the list of unpushed _commits_ may be received by ‘git log <upstream>..’)
I know it is possible to execute 'git ls-remote’ or 'git push --dry-run’, but both ask the remote server. I’m almost sure that the answer is “NO”, but want to receive a confirmation from Git gurus :)
Thanks a lot! -- Kirill.

No. The client doesn't track what tags the remote has.
You may be able to guess by looking at `git log --decorate upstream..` and seeing which tags, if any show up.

Not by default, but it is easy to configure your clone to fetch tags to a separate namespace.

But then in order to learn what tags the remote has, you need to talk to the remote and it won't be "complately a local" operation anymore, no?

If I understand the solution correctly, it looks like it is not needed, if I’m OK with knowing which tags the remote had during the last fetch.
Just like with commits: 'git log origin/master..’ can give me incorrect results if e.g. commits were rebased on the remote site. But we usually ignore such possibility as improbable.

Just like for every other remote ref. If you need to know the ultimative truth the only way is to ask the remote. Your local copy is just a cache that may be outdated any time.
