[Nix]

On 30 Nov 2009, Colin Guthrie told this:

> 'Twas brillig, and Nix at 29/11/09 21:12 did gyre and gimble:
>> A full clone shows me the tag, but a 'git pull' or 'git remote update

Aha!

,----[ git-pull(1) ]
|    -t, --tags
|        Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch heads
|        are downloaded, but tags that do not point at objects
|        reachable from the branch heads that are being tracked will
|        not be fetched by this mechanism. This flag lets all tags and
|        their associated objects be downloaded.

Three years of fairly heavy git use and I never once stumbled across
that.

Thanks for the clue!
