  Hi,

Dear diary, on Sat, Apr 29, 2006 at 04:00:42PM CEST, I got a letter
where Wolfgang Denk [off-list ref] said that...

it seems that "cg-clone" does not fetch all tags any more - only  the
most  recent ones (modiufied in the last N days?) seem to be fetched?
[Eventually the "N days"  might  correspond  to  "changing  tools  to
version X", but I have no way to find out.]

This happens only when using HTTP; using ssh  or  rsync  works  fine.
Also,  if  we follow the "cg-clone" by a "git-fetch -t" command, this
will load the missing tags.

Is this intentional, or am I doing anything wrong?

[For testing, try "cg-clone http://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git"]

  you need to run git-update-server-info every time you add or update a
tag (or best every time you push). See the NOTES section of
cg-admin-setuprepo documentation for details on how to set it up to be
called automagically at every push.

There are two types of tags: They can point to
1. a commit object
2. a proper tag object (which in turn references the commit)

git-update-server-info seems to generate info only for case 2, and so are the 
only ones that http can fetch.
