Re: Pulling tags from git.git

Okay sorry, git fetch --tags did the trick.

Just out of curiosity, should git pull --tags behave similarly since
the difference is git pull does a merge after a fetch?

With the git or git+ssh protocol, tags will be autofollowed when you do a pull (only signed tags, I think). The auto-following is done by detecting tags that are fetched, so when you did a pull using rsync the tags weren't auto-followed but you got all the commits. Next, when you changed protocol to git:// you already had all the commit objects, so there was nothing to auto-detect tags on. Since you're using git:// now it should work as advertised in the future though.
