Nope.  It intentionally includes the manual rsync because clone/pull

clone does (or should), fetch (and hence pull) does not
automatically.  Running the following one-liner every once in a
while would sync your set of tags with Linus:

git fetch origin `git-ls-remote --tags origin | sed -ne 's|^.*refs/tags/|tag |p'`
