Obviously I don't know how Chris created his conglomerated repo, but I
just made one of my own, and it has all the tags I would expect in it ...
so it's not an inherent git problem (or not in 1.5.1.1 anyway).

I guess that Chris created his in such a way that the automated tag
following code didn't trigger? (Or maybe used a really old git?)

(Mine's at http://git.q42.co.uk/w/stable.git if anyone is interested
enough to want to look at it ...)

It only took me 4 commands to create too (ok, so three of them were bash
for loops ... and I did do a little bit more to tidy up), I do enjoy using
flexible tools :D.
