git fetch should also fetch tags #572
Closed
Description
git fetch
doesn't fetch tags that aren't directly reachable by current branch heads. Long-lived release or maintenance branches are not normally merged back to master and tags created on them won't be fetched normally. We should do git fetch --all
git fetch --tags
to ensure all tags are fetched.
EDIT: we want the --tags flag, not the --all flag
