That was my point: you can use "git-ssh-pull" to pull the tags. But yes, you have to explicitly ask for them by name, ie the other side has to let you know: "Oh, btw, I created a 'xyz' tag for you". And having another helper script to hide the details of how git-*-pull handles tags is obviously also a good idea, although it's pretty low on my list of things to worry about. Linus
