Re: [BUG] Pulling tags no longer works in 1.5.3.4...

Hi,

Using package git-core-1.5.3.3-3.fc7, I can do the following with kernel git

1) git-clone --reference linux-2.6 linux-2.6 tmp-2.6

2) time passes (days or weeks)

3)	cd tmp-2.6
	git pull ../linux-2.6
	git pull --tags ../linux-2.6

Result:  works as expected.



Using package git-core-1.5.3.4-1.fc8, step #3 breaks:

[jgarzik@pretzel misc-2.6]$ git pull --tags ../linux-2.6/
You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
want to merge with, and 'branch.master.merge' in
your configuration file does not tell me either.  Please
name which branch you want to merge on the command line and
try again (e.g. 'git pull <repository> <refspec>').
See git-pull(1) for details on the refspec.

Oops.

As a workaround, please do "git fetch --tags ../linux-2.6 && git pull 
../linux-2.6/" until it is fixed.

Ciao,
