GIt Checkout of Kernel Repo

I have recently cloned the GIT repo of the Kernel Source.

the remote being set as

origin 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git 
(fetch)
origin 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git (push)

now according to www.Kernelnewbies.org/KernelBuild

git tag -l | less

would list out all the tags associated with a build including the 
release candidates...
But I am getting tags ONLY till v3.9.9

has there been a change of some kind? or is there an issue on my side?
