Re: Pulling tags from git.git

["David Ho" <davidkwho@gmail.com>]

Andreas,

After get it working, I did an experiment where I hard-resetted my
local repo to v1.2.3, git-pruned and removed the v1.2.4 tag.  A git
pull with the git protocol does indeed pick up the tag.

Thanks for explaining what's going on under the hood.  Everything now
makes sense to me!
