Is there a better way of grabbing all the tags now? I haven't
kept track, as I haven't had to do that in a while.
Recent 'git-fetch' automatically follows tags that are attached
to commits you slurp (following example set by Cogito), to
reduce the need to grab all tags to begin with. That would not
help tags that are attached to objects that are not part of
branches you are tracking; you can use 'git-fetch --tags' for
them.
