Re: cg-clone not fetching all tags?

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.

And git-cvsimport (at least older versions of it)  imports  CVS  tags
only as type 1 ?

That would perfectly explain the situation. How can this be fixed?

Something like this tells you which one points to a commit or a tag:

for i in `find .git/refs/tags -type f`; do
  echo -n "$i "; git-cat-file -t $(cat $i);
done

Then for each commit-type $tag you do

git-tag -m ' ' $tag-new $tag
mv .git/refs/tags/$tag-new .git/refs/tags/$tag

(git-tag does not accept an empty tag message - if you dislike the 
single-blank-message, you have to manufacture your tags with git-mktag 
manually.)
