Subject: stupid git question
Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 15:19:12 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110914201912.GA29635@gherkin.frus.com> (raw)

Subject says a mouthful, but I digress...

Pointed "git" at Linus' github.com repository to pull the "-rc6"
changes (git pull <repo_url>).  Seems to have worked, except I received
no updated tags: the latest tag in my local repo copy is "v3.1-rc4".

Is this an expected consequence of doing the initial clone operation
from one repo, and then pulling updates from another that, in theory, is
identical to the first?  If so, is there an officially sanctioned method
of switching repositories that doesn't require blowing away the local
copy and doing another "git clone"?

Thanks.
