I have slave repositaries which are cloned of the baseline which I do my

repositaries upto date (via git-pull ../baseline master) I find the tag
objects are lost. Should they not be part of the tree? After all when I
sync to Linus's kernel repo I get all his version tags as part of that.

You have to use "git pull ../baseline master:somewhere".
This "master:somewhere" expression makes git fetch and stores
the tags along with the branch' commits. Better yet, create an
entry in remotes: .git/remotes or .git/config, depending on the version
of git you have. The current master on kernel.org has the support
for latter (branches in .git/config), which will also be in the upcoming
release 1.5.
