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?

I suspect there is no need to manufacture the tag.  Something
like this should do.

*WARNING* Since I do not do Porcelain, and I am not a Cogito
user, this is obviously untested.  In addition, I am seriously
drunk right now...
