With BK, tags came with each pull.  With git, you have to go "outside

You don't have to use rsync, and you don't have to go outside the system. 
That was my point: you can use "git-ssh-pull" to pull the tags.

But yes, you have to explicitly ask for them by name, ie the other side 
has to let you know: "Oh, btw, I created a 'xyz' tag for you". And having 
another helper script to hide the details of how git-*-pull handles tags 
is obviously also a good idea, although it's pretty low on my list of 
things to worry about.
